Business Continuity System Preventing $22M+ Loss

The Challenge

A Fortune 500 entertainment company had no disaster recovery plan for game development data across multiple studios. When infrastructure issues occurred, development teams faced potential weeks of downtime with millions in revenue at risk. Leadership needed a solution that could be implemented quickly and work across diverse technical environments.

The Approach

• Designed redundant backup architecture for 1+ petabyte of development assets

• Implemented automated backup verification and recovery testing protocols

• Created clear runbooks for various failure scenarios

• Trained studio IT teams on recovery procedures

• Established monitoring and alerting systems

The Results

• System prevented estimated $22M+ in losses during a single major outage

• Reduced recovery time from weeks to hours

• Earned company-wide Award (given to 5 of 10,000 employees annually)

• Model adopted across all studio operations
