Case Study: Rybrook Holdings achieves rapid recovery and business continuity with Arcserve

Rybrook Holdings secures data and ensures business continuity with Arcserve

Rybrook Holdings, a family-owned, multi-site luxury car and yacht dealership with nearly 1,000 employees across the UK and Europe, needed to better protect sales, warranty and customer documentation after a network incident exposed gaps in its backup processes. With franchises running different IT systems and documents stored on distributed NAS devices, the IT team required a robust, low‑maintenance solution that could quickly restore files, profiles, databases and Active Directory to preserve customer service and warranty claims.

Rybrook deployed an Arcserve Appliance to protect 34 TB of data (deduplicated and compressed to 6 TB, ~82% reduction) across 38 servers and NAS devices, with automated weekly recovery testing and WAN-friendly incremental backups. The result was dramatically faster recovery—single files in minutes, NAS drives back online in under an hour, bare‑metal restores reduced from days to minutes/hours—and a successful sub‑10 minute Instant VM recovery during a critical bank‑holiday failure, freeing IT resources and ensuring business continuity.
