Success Story Overview
Business: The Laryngeal Mask Company (LMA™) designs, develops, markets and distributes medical devices. Its main product is a Laryngeal Mask Airway device, which is distributed throughout more than 100 countries worldwide and has been used safely more than 200 million times.
Challenge: To ensure customers receive medical devices on time, LMA needs to process orders and deliver products within short timelines. The company relies on its IT systems, particularly email, for these activities. It therefore needed a more robust disaster recovery plan.
Solution: LMA implemented a centralised data replication strategy using CA XOsoft™ High Availability. Around a terabyte of email and file data, including customer details and quality assurance information, is continuously replicated between multiple sites.
Result: LMA can recover its core systems in less than an hour and email data within a matter of minutes. This means that LMA can safeguard the continuity of its supply chain and ensure the timely delivery of its products to its distributors and hospitals worldwide.
