Organization

Challenges

The client’s existing backup solution was a constant source of frustration, according to the IT manager. “We were spending too much time managing backups and dealing with issues like failed backups and long recovery times,” he said. “Our data was spread out across different locations, which made it even more difficult to manage. It was a nightmare.”

The lack of centralized backup management was particularly problematic for the client, as it meant that backup and recovery tasks had to be performed separately for each location, leading to longer recovery times in case of a disaster.

The IT manager noted, “We needed a solution that would provide centralized management of our backups and streamline the backup and recovery process. Our existing solution just couldn’t keep up with our needs.”

In addition to these challenges, the client was concerned about the security of their data. The IT manager stated, “We knew that our existing backup solution was vulnerable to cyber threats and ransomware attacks, and we needed a solution that would provide better protection for our data.”

The lack of automated air-gapped and immutability features was a significant concern for the client. The IT manager noted, “We wanted a solution that would provide automated air-gapped backups, as well as immutability to protect our data from being tampered with or deleted. Our existing solution didn’t offer these features, which was a major problem for us.”

Overall, the client required a backup and disaster recovery solution that would address these challenges and provide robust data protection. “We needed a solution that was reliable, easy to manage, and provided the security and protection our data required,” said the IT manager.

Solution

StoneFly’s DR365V backup and disaster recovery appliance proved to be the ideal solution for the bank’s complex data protection and disaster recovery challenges. By providing the client with a centralized backup management console, the DR365V streamlined backup and recovery operations, simplifying the client’s backup management.

Moreover, the DR365V appliance’s automated air-gapped and immutability features ensured that the client’s data was secure against cyber threats and ransomware attacks, satisfying the bank’s stringent compliance regulations. The DR365V’s Veeam-ready backup and restore capabilities enabled the client to achieve better recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs) for their critical business data.

The DR365V also offered granular data recovery options, providing the client with the ability to restore individual files or entire systems quickly. Furthermore, with SAN, NAS, and S3 storage capabilities integrated with cloud for offsite backup and archiving, the DR365V appliance gave the client the flexibility and scalability needed for their multi-location business.

The Results

Improved Backup Management

StoneFly’s solution provided a centralized management console that simplified the client’s backup and disaster recovery operations. The console allowed the client to manage backups and recoveries from a single interface, reducing the time and effort required to manage backup operations. As a result, the client was able to save 50% of their backup management time, allowing them to focus on other critical business operations.

Enhanced Data Protection

StoneFly’s solution automated air-gapped and immutability features, which provided robust data protection and ensured that the client’s data was secure from cyber threats and ransomware attacks. These features allowed the client to create immutable copies of their data that could not be modified, deleted, or encrypted by cyber attackers. The air-gapping feature also provided an additional layer of protection by creating an offline copy of the client’s data, preventing it from being accessed by unauthorized users.

Faster Recovery Times

StoneFly’s solution enabled the client to achieve better recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs), reducing data recovery times by up to 75%. The solution offered granular recovery options that allowed the client to restore individual files or entire systems quickly. The client could also use the solution to perform instant recoveries, allowing them to minimize downtime and maintain business continuity in the event of a disaster.

“StoneFly’s backup and disaster recovery solution has been a game-changer for our business. With their centralized management console, automated data protection features, and faster recovery times, we can now focus on our core business, knowing that our data is secure and recoverable. I would highly recommend StoneFly to any business looking to streamline their backup and disaster recovery operations.” – CEO of the bank.
