A few years ago, Sea Tow relied on physical servers, backing up to tape as its
primary data protection method. After researching a variety of options to take
advantage of virtualization, Sea Tow installed VMware and selected PHD Virtual
as the backup solution due to ease of use, performance and cost effectiveness.

The company does backup locally with PHD Virtual Backup, then offsite to Amazon
S3 with PHD CloudHook, a virtual data protection solution offering a
link to cloud storage for backup, archiving and DR.

"Recently, our domain controller
server became corrupt and by using PHD’s Instant Recovery feature, we were able
to recover and come back online in just minutes. Our business is based on
immediate response and we not had PHD in place, that incident could have
cost us dearly,
" said Mark Szczepanik, system administrator. "Any interruption could cost us hundreds of
thousands of dollars in revenue, and lost clients. That one incident has paid
for our backup and data protection solutions for years to come.
"

"Sea Tow has critical customer data
and information that must be kept secure and ready at a moment’s notice as
boaters rely on them for quick response,
" said Joe Noonan, senior
product manager, PHD Virtual. "Utilizing
PHD’s virtual appliance gives them low overhead and completes backups without
over taxing the servers.
