Broxap’s data is stored offsite in UK datacentres, so Michael can rest assured that in the event of a ransomware attack or natural disaster, downtime will be kept to a minimum. He said: “Taking a backup tape home at night was always a big responsibility for someone - and when there was an issue, the first question was always: “Who’s got the tapes and can they actually get to site?”
The mixture of previous backup solutions Broxap deployed made it difficult to test the effectiveness of their disaster recovery plan. That’s no longer the case as Redstor makes testing easy by presenting backed-up systems and data for temporary access as a virtual drive and for permanent recovery to a destination of choice.
Redstor’s simple-to-manage, long-term cloud archiving frees up expensive primary storage space, while ensuring that archived data remains extremely easy to access. Michael said: “I still needed to back up some of the older reference servers, but Redstor has it covered from the legacy applications right up to current OS support. That’s a major plus point.
