AppAssure Saves Muffins for Diana's Bakery in Connecticut
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Tue, February 21st, 2012
Move triggered after storm wiped out critical servers
With AppAssure software, Connecticut-based Diana's Bakery can perform a VMware backup or an Exchange backup in minutes.
The move to AppAssure was triggered after a storm wiped out critical servers. As the bakery began the arduous task of rebuilding its key infrastructure, it found that recoveries were taking much longer than expected, and some were unsuccessful. For instance it took more than 36 hours to recover an Exchange Server, only to find that the backup data was corrupt.
That's changed with the installation of AppAssure software. "With AppAssure now protecting the servers, Diana's can recover a backup as a virtual standby machine in under 10 minutes and fully restore an entire system in under an hour," said Chris Brescia, Diana's Bakery IT Manager.
Brescia commented further on three areas where the bakery has seen improvements in recoveries, storage savings and management:
- Virtual Standby for Testing and DR: "Since we are a major provider to Starbucks, we can't be down. Period. AppAssure's virtual recovery capabilities make sure we're not. AppAssure for VMware is just great because it keeps a virtual copy of our data so that we can just flip a switch if something goes wrong."
- Storage Space Savings: "Before AppAssure I couldn't back up everything, there just wasn't enough space. But now we're backing up twice as many servers as before and using less than half the amount of storage space."
- Backup Management: "AppAssure really gives true backup management to VMware. It takes backup and disaster recovery to the next level."
