Clear Technologies

About The Customer
Clear Technologies is a company that assists businesses in deriving maximum value from information technologies. The company operates in a competitive environment, often having to convince potential customers of the benefits of new technology over existing ones. Clear Technologies' value proposition is to increase organizational effectiveness through innovative products, services, and solutions. The company also ensures that their customers' data and applications are always available, even in the event of system failures, disasters, or normal planned maintenance. To support this business model, Clear Technologies needed a business partner that could supply advanced high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and migration solutions.
The Challenge
Clear Technologies, a company that helps businesses maximize the value from information technologies, operates in a highly competitive environment. The company not only competes against other vendors but also against the status quo. To secure a sale, Clear Technologies often has to convince potential customers that the benefits of the new technology justify the cost of switching from the existing technology, including any associated downtime costs. The company's value proposition is to increase organizational effectiveness through innovative products, services, and solutions. However, the hardware and software it sells can't provide value if it is down. Therefore, part of Clear Technologies' revenue is derived from ensuring that their customers' data and applications are always available, even in the event of system failures, disasters, or normal planned maintenance. To support this business model, Clear Technologies needed a business partner that could supply advanced high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and migration solutions.
The Solution
Clear Technologies partnered with Precisely to offer customers powerful, reliable HA, DR, and migration options. The company relies on Assure MIMIX HA as its go-to-market offering when customers need rock-solid data and application availability. It replicates all user and system data from a production server to a backup in real-time. If the need arises, customers can failover to the backup server with no data loss and almost no downtime. Clear Technologies recently installed Assure MIMIX HA at two customers, both subsidiaries of the same company. Each subsidiary now runs production in a partition on its IBM i-based server, with another partition functioning as the backup server for the other company. This setup ensures real-time replicas of their production servers that they can failover to whenever necessary, without the need for additional hardware. Assure MIMIX HA also makes it easy, fast, and non-disruptive to adopt new technologies. When selling a new server, Clear Technologies can offer to use Assure MIMIX HA to migrate the customer’s old server to a new one in the background, with almost no downtime.
Operational Impact
  • The partnership with Precisely and the use of Assure MIMIX HA has allowed Clear Technologies to offer powerful, reliable HA, DR, and migration options to its customers. This solution ensures that data and applications are always available, even in the event of system failures, disasters, or normal planned maintenance. It has also made it easier for Clear Technologies to convince potential customers of the benefits of new technology, as it can demonstrate that the transition can be made with minimal disruption and downtime. Furthermore, the solution has enabled Clear Technologies to expand its business by offering additional services such as data protection reports, priority audits, continuous monitoring of the backup server, and email notifications alerting administrators to conditions requiring attention.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Ensures real-time replication of all user and system data from a production server to a backup
  • Enables failover to the backup server with no data loss and almost no downtime
  • Facilitates easy, fast, and non-disruptive adoption of new technologies
