Case Study: SBL (IT security provider) safeguards business continuity and restores critical services within 30 minutes with Arcserve Replication & High Availability

SBL Safeguards Business Continuity with Arcserve Solutions

SBL (formerly Software Box Limited) is a UK IT security reseller and services firm of about 100 staff serving public-sector customers. As the business expanded it needed to reduce the risk and impact of unplanned downtime—its tape-based backups could take up to two days to recover a server and only ran overnight, risking a full day’s data loss—and to demonstrate ISO 27001‑level business continuity for critical systems such as email, CRM, finance and telephony.

SBL deployed arcserve Replication and arcserve High Availability, a solution rolled out in under a day that continuously replicates 5 TB across Windows and VMware environments, takes snapshots every two hours and maintains an offsite virtualized copy. The result: failover and recovery in under 30 minutes, lower operational overhead, regular DR testing, maintained customer service levels and ISO 27001 compliance, and stronger support for profitable growth.
