Case Study: Crowder Consulting achieves faster backups and protected productivity with Arcserve

Crowder Consulting protects productivity and profitability with Arcserve

Crowder Consulting, a 100‑person specialist in water management and software development, relied on aging tape backups that were slow and time‑consuming, risking weeks of lost developer work and damage to productivity and profitability. With about a third of its business in software development, the company needed a reliable, fast, and easy‑to‑manage backup and disaster‑recovery solution.

Crowder deployed an Arcserve Appliance (40 TB) with Arcserve Cloud replication to protect 28 TB of data (deduplicated to 1.3 TB), covering virtual and physical servers including VMware and Oracle databases. Backups now complete in hours with restores in minutes, retention increased to a year, and the IT team saves roughly half a day per week—reducing downtime risk, lowering costs, and safeguarding productivity and reputation.
