For a global energy enterprise, the availability of core ERP systems is critical to business continuity. A leading international oil and gas enterprise relied on JD Edwards for mission-critical operations across multiple geographies. However, its disaster recovery environment could not provide the resilience, security, and scalability required for a growing enterprise. Building a traditional far-site data center would also require significant infrastructure investment. LTM modernized the client's recovery model through a secure, Azure-based cloud disaster recovery environment that strengthened resilience, protected critical data, and supported continuity without application redesign or additional JD Edwards licenses.
LTM extended the client's existing JD Edwards environment into Azure through a secure cloud disaster recovery architecture. The solution combined lift-and-shift replication, enterprise security controls, and MS SQL Always-On replication to enable resilient recovery with minimal disruption to existing operations.
The client is a leading international oil and gas enterprise operating across multiple industrial segments and geographies. Its operations rely on JD Edwards for critical business processes, making system availability essential to business continuity. Technology and business continuity leaders needed to strengthen recovery readiness while meeting stringent Infosec, audit, and CIS requirements without introducing significant infrastructure costs or disrupting established operations.
Energy enterprises face significant operational and financial exposure when critical systems become unavailable. As ERP platforms become central to daily operations, organizations are moving from traditional secondary data centers toward disaster recovery in cloud computing environments. Modern DR strategies must balance rapid recovery, continuous data protection, security, compliance, and infrastructure efficiency while providing scalable resilience for business-critical workloads.
The client's existing recovery model created several resilience and operational risks:
LTM designed and implemented a secure, Azure-based cloud disaster recovery environment that extended the client's existing JD Edwards platform into the cloud.
A lift-and-shift approach replicated the existing environment without application redesign, process changes, or user retraining. MS SQL Always-On enabled continuous data synchronization between production and recovery environments, supporting an RPO of less than 15 minutes.
LTM also extended the client's enterprise domain into Azure through a dedicated Domain Controller architecture. Security policies and access controls were synchronized across environments. WAF, MFA, and cloud security controls strengthened protection and supported Infosec, CIS, and audit requirements.
The resulting architecture provided a scalable recovery environment that preserved existing applications and user access while strengthening resilience, data protection, and operational continuity.
LTM helped the client transform disaster recovery from a compliance requirement into a strategic resilience capability. The Azure-based architecture strengthened JD Edwards recovery readiness while reducing infrastructure complexity and investment. With near-real-time data protection, enterprise-grade security, and continued access for critical users, the organization now has a future-ready foundation to scale cloud disaster recovery, strengthen long-term business continuity, and extend resilience across other critical enterprise workloads.
