CHALLENGES FACED BY THE ORGANIZATION

Following the devastating earthquake in February 2023, ELK Motor decided to make a significant investment to secure its IT infrastructure and ensure business continuity. The primary concern was to ensure location redundancy of servers, backups, storage units, and other critical data. This disaster highlighted the importance of a robust disaster recovery strategy that could withstand such devastating events and minimize downtime. Additionally, there was an urgent need to integrate new technologies to strengthen the existing infrastructure.

SOLUTION USED

ELK Motor conducted interviews with many solution and service providers in line with the need to restructure its IT infrastructure. It chose vMind due to its proven track record of providing effective and innovative IT solutions that are suitable for the specific needs of the manufacturing sector. vMind’s knowledge and professional service experience in active-active architectures and next-generation technologies, not only in Turkey but also in the META (Middle East, Africa and Turkey) region, were of great value to this project. The project, which was launched in September 2023, focused on increasing ELK Motor’s IT resilience and operational continuity and was completed on schedule (March 2024).

The main components of the solution were:

Server Virtualization: In addition to facilitating the management of physical servers, it provided flexibility to respond to dynamic market conditions and disaster scenarios.
Advanced Backup and Recovery Systems: Implemented to provide comprehensive data protection and fast recovery times, which are critical for post-disaster scenarios.
Establishment of Disaster Recovery Centers: These centers are strategically positioned to ensure rapid resumption of operations after any outages.
Cyber ​​Recovery Solutions: Focused on protecting sensitive data from increasing cyber threats, especially critical in post-disaster periods.

BENEFITS ACHIEVED

These technological solutions implemented by vMind have delivered significant performance improvements and operational efficiencies for ELK Engine:
Operational Durability: Following implementation, ELK Engine reported a 40% reduction in system outages during routine maintenance and an 80% increase in recovery time after outages.
User Feedback: Feedback from ELK Motor’s IT staff and end users has been overwhelmingly positive. Particular praise was given to the ease of management of virtualized environments and the robustness of the disaster recovery process.
Data Security Enhancements: New cyber recovery solutions resulted in a 60% reduction in security breaches.
Cost Efficiency and Return on Investment (ROI): The transition to virtualized servers and optimized cloud services has resulted in approximately 30% cost savings for IT operations and a significant improvement in ROI due to reduced downtime and better resource allocation.

A LOOK TO THE FUTURE

Looking forward, ELK Engine plans to continue its collaboration with vMind to further develop its IT infrastructure. The focus will be on leveraging emerging technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence to increase operational efficiency and disaster response capabilities. Additionally, ELK Motor aims to set industry standards for sustainable and resilient manufacturing practices, reflecting its deep commitment to long-term growth and stability.

This project is a prime example of how tailored technological solutions can help a major manufacturing giant like ELK Motor not only survive immediate crises, but also strengthen its operations against future challenges. vMind’s professional approach to the project and the team’s accurate handling of the company’s expectations by blending them with emerging technological solutions have made our work much easier and provided us with long-term solutions.
