Case Study: COLFIRE achieves always-on business continuity with Arcserve UDP Cloud Hybrid

Colfire Embraces “always on” Tech With Help From Arcserv

COLFIRE, the oldest general insurance company in Trinidad and Tobago (founded 1955) with 200+ employees, needed a comprehensive disaster recovery and business continuity strategy to eliminate downtime risk. The insurer faced choices around on‑premises versus cloud or hybrid backup, the right level of granularity (image, OS, application, file), recoverability at those levels, and concerns about security, compliance and bandwidth impact.

Working with IT advisor Cleverrist, COLFIRE trialed and adopted Arcserve UDP Cloud Hybrid to back up on‑premises systems with replication to the cloud. The unified solution delivered granular protection, faster backup windows and shorter RTO/RPO, automated replication without impacting bandwidth, full visibility for administrators, and reliable “always on” business continuity — allowing COLFIRE to retire tape, centralize data protection and confidently secure critical systems and data.
