Success Stories
Louisiana Supreme Court
The Louisiana Supreme Court is responsible for all official case paperwork related to decisions, rulings and legal references- documents that can add up to millions of dollars in professional man hours. Add that to the fact that Louisiana is prone to hurricanes 6 months of the year. Learn why Hurricane Katrina prompted the Louisiana Supreme Court to choose CA ARCserve High Availability as their disaster recovery solution, and how the ARCserve Family of Products protects critical information and keeps communications open in order to keep the court system running, even during emergencies.
Business: The Louisiana Supreme Court (LASC), located in New Orleans, is the judicial power of Louisiana. The court also is the repository for all documentation relevant to each case, in addition to a plethora of research resources for all the courts of Louisiana to use at will.
Challenge: Louisiana is “on alert” six months of the year. Because of this, LASC needed a disaster recovery plan that would protect LASC’s volumes of emails, research data, law records, court transactions and public service information. It would also have to ensure that all court data and communications could be continually available during local or even state-wide power outages.
Solution: The Louisiana Supreme Court leveraged the CA Recovery Management solution: CA ARCserve Backup and CA XOsoft High Availability software. Using these CA products, LASC’s IT systems, services and security are fully available and protected when a disaster occurs.
Result: LASC has improved service continuity, court agility and cost control. The CA Recovery Management solution saves precious state dollars by protecting irreplaceable legal documents and other court records. With a well-designed disaster recovery system, LASC can now remain a productive and reliable public service to the state.
