Objective of Introduction

To expand market share in auto-auction

market, effective IT investment which

improves customer’s trust was needed.

The big used-car auction company. Improved business efficiency and reliability by data

unification and operation centralization of auction sites which locates each area in Japan.

Merit/System Configuration

Ensuring business continuity was the

first priority to prevent opportunity loss

on auto-auction system which realizes

real-time auction. ExpressCluster was

selected to protect database server

and realized it’s high reliability.

ExpressCluster offers service fail-over

and synchronous data replication to the

server which will be accessed from

seven sites.

Realized high available disaster recovery solution by configuring remote clustering with

ExpressCluster and FT server for gate authorization system of federal agency.

Configured disaster recovery solution

by ExpressCluster, which enables to

continue business with minimum
