The firm, famous for its goods carrying the Radley dog logo, has deployed FalconStor's Continuous Data Protector (CDP) to provide both disaster recovery (DR) and backup services.

The company's primary aim was to replicate information from its data centre in London to a remote warehouse location that also serves as its DR site.

Radley + Co's London infrastructure is almost entirely virtualised on VMware ESX Server, and the firm deployed a FalconStor DiskSafe agent on each virtualised server. The DiskSafe agent synchronises data back to a FalconStor CDP appliance which replicates it to the DR site over a leased line.

Snapshots are taken every three hours, enabling data roll-back to up to a week before any disaster occurred or was discovered.

The company realised that the same FalconStor solution could also meet its backup requirements.
