Challenge

Modernize backup infrastructure and strengthen disaster recovery and business continuity readiness in the face of growing volumes of data.

Delivering justice across the State of Missouri

More than one million new civil and criminal cases flood into Missouri State Courts each year, each accompanied by a stack of legal documents. Approximately 5,000 judicial employees access this court information each day. Protecting court information is critical to the everyday running of the court system. Loss of information could have catastrophic consequences for the state of Missouri and its people.

Working with OpenText (formerly Micro Focus), Missouri State Courts optimized and modernized its entire backup environment by upgrading to the latest version of Data Protection. The software provides the court with a comprehensive and resilient backup solution that delivers a highly efficient and high performing backup, while offering reliable disaster recovery and rapid file restore.

Today 13TB of court data is backed up on a daily, weekly and monthly basis and replicated over a fiber optic network connection to the disaster recovery center. The data that is backed up includes case management data, court documents, emails and working documents.

The division currently replicates around 20 percent of backups to the disaster recovery center, providing an additional level of protection. The unified solution replication capability is built-in and managed centrally by Data Protection.
