Case Study: Inland Power achieves rapid, cost-effective disaster recovery (sub-3-minute failover) with 11:11 Systems

Responsible for electricity for thousands, Inland Power cannot afford to go dark

Inland Power, an electric utility serving about 32,000 customers across Eastern Washington, was reminded of the critical role of IT after a 2015 “storm of the century” caused a 12-hour communications outage that disrupted phones, outage reporting and coordination with first responders. The event exposed gaps in their resiliency: they needed offsite backups and the ability to fail over quickly and reliably.

Inland chose iland’s Veeam Cloud Backup plus iland DRaaS with Zerto to provide offsite protection and fast cloud-based replication. iland onboarded Inland’s systems in under a month, resolving networking nuances and delivering sub‑3‑minute recovery times, a straightforward onboarding experience and a cost-effective model for business continuity — giving Inland the confidence to expand cloud use.
