Arsenal kicks IT failure into touch
Football club rolls out disaster recovery software
Premiership football club Arsenal is rolling out disaster recovery software to protect against hardware failure on match days.
The project is part of the club’s move to the new Emirates stadium, which required an entirely new IT infrastructure.
The disaster recovery system can be automatically configured to monitor critical servers and move to a secondary, back-up system if a failure is detected, says Arsenal head of IT Paul Farmer.
‘If there is a failure, the software will detect it and bring the back-up server up as the primary one,’ said Farmer.
The club is rolling out the XOsoft recovery software from CA, and has completed implementation on its email server.
