Video Games Publisher Ubisoft Picks Sonasoft

Sonasoft,
Corp. announces that Ubisoft, one of world’s leading publishers of
video games has successfully implemented Sonasoft’s SonaSafe solution
to protect Microsoft SQL servers. Sonasoft provides a One-Stop Shop for
the Backup, High Availability and Disaster Recovery needs of Ubisoft.

Ubisoft
‘s SQL servers are spread across three cities in three different
countries, namely, Montreal – Canada, Paris – France and San Francisco
– USA. The data was growing rapidly and Ubisoft wanted to have data
protection and high availability for SQL servers housing the databases.
Ubisoft was looking for an integrated solution that provided data
protection, high availability and disaster recovery. Following a
careful investigation and research, Ubisoft deployed SonaSafe for SQL
to protect the SQL servers.

After implementing Sonasoft’s
SonaSafe solution as the backup and disaster recovery tool, Ubisoft was
able to accomplish the following:

• 1. Implement a real Disaster Recovery
  solution; if the production server or even the data center is down,
  customer can bring the system back online in a timely manner.
• 2. Data warehouse (DW) gets refreshed every hour, hence, providing more
  accurate and up to date reports for the business stakeholders.
• 3. Due to more current and accurate reports in DW, users launch fewer
  queries in the production system, therefore, less contentions on the
  production database and application.
• 4. A daily refresh (or Clone) of the production environment is
  available in US, to troubleshoot users requests or resolve bugs.

“We
were looking for an affordable solution to protect our databases. We
tested many products and selected Sonasoft’s SonaSafe solution because
(i) Replication is done on a data level and it verifies/validates data
before applying on the target database; (ii) Sonasoft’s solution
provides both data protection and disaster recovery at one fourth of
the cost; (iii) Sonasoft provides excellent customer service”, said Amir
Shafi, Sr. Manager, Business Applications, Ubisoft.
