to protect its business critical data in the event of extreme
weather events

The organization had its data stored on-site in a non-redundant,
flood-zoned office in the Orlando
area but wanted to create a reliable cloud backup and Disaster
Recovery as a Service (DraaS) plan in advance of this year's
hurricane season.
30TB of data was backed up using an EMC Avamar M2400 and stored
on an EMC DataDomain 2500 before being shipped to iomart's data
center in Virginia where it was
replicated to a multi-tenant environment for true DR. iomart has a
fully managed, high availability VMware environment running
alongside the backup environment, which allows customers the option
to carry out fast restores to iomart's IaaS platform in the event
of a DR scenario.
Marc Kelly, VP Sales, iomart
Inc., explains, "Due to the urgency and the high volume and type of
data, we took a hybrid approach for backup and DR with real-time
backup. While we replicated their daily short term data from the
last week over the Internet, everything else was backed up onsite
and then uplifted, shipped and seeded successfully to our facility
in Virginia before the storm
hit."
With data centers at six locations across the U.S., Backup
and Disaster Recovery as a Service from iomart can give you
peace-of-mind for your data.
