## Global Dual-Site Disaster Recovery Built for Resilience

 ![Two colleagues looking at computer monitors displaying data charts]()

A $7 billion global packaging manufacturer with a lean IT team had no functional disaster recovery solution in place, a gap that had been elevated to a board-level mandate following ransomware concerns. With production sites in the U.S. and Belgium, they needed a global DRaaS solution that could address immutability requirements in phases. Expedient delivered a dual-site solution replicating Columbus to Cleveland and Belgium production to an existing Belgium DR site—winning on technical depth, recognized expertise, and a year of trust-building.
