Case Study: Forerunner Computer Systems achieves reliable data protection and rapid disaster recovery with Arcserve

Forerunner Computer Systems Deliver Reliable Data Protection and Recovery with Arcserve

Forerunner Computer Systems is a small, family‑owned managed IT provider in Adelaide that supports a diverse client base — from wineries and manufacturers to medical and legal practices. As its customer portfolio grew and more clients worked remotely, the firm needed reliable, fast disaster recovery and consistent data resilience; previous solutions like Veritas BackupAssist and Veeam didn’t provide the image‑based “moment in time” protection they wanted.

Beginning with Arcserve ShadowProtect in 2010 and migrating key customers to ShadowXafe in 2020, Forerunner implemented continuous image‑based backups, VirtualBoot and secure offline vault storage to simplify management and enable rapid recoveries. The new platform allowed the team to restore a medical practice’s damaged server files within hours after a fire, reduced application downtime, improved productivity, and positioned Forerunner to complete client migrations for scalable, dependable business continuity.
