Case Study: Frank Hirth achieves secure, scalable, tape-free backups and faster recovery with Asigra Hybrid Cloud Backup

Asigra and hSo give Frank Hirth the confidence that all critical data backups are secure

Frank Hirth is a London-based accounting firm specializing in expatriate tax that was relying on slow, unreliable tape backups which lacked encryption and were time-consuming to manage across 13 servers and 110 desktops. Because the firm handles highly sensitive client financial data, it needed a secure, auditable, and easy-to-manage backup and recovery solution to replace tape.

Frank Hirth implemented Asigra Hybrid Cloud Backup delivered via hSo:VAULT — an agentless, centrally managed service that encrypts data in-flight and at-rest, uses deduplication and compression, and supports generational restores. The result is automatic remote backups, faster internet-based restores, outsourced monitoring, no extra client hardware, scalable storage and significantly reduced management time and recovery risk compared with tape.
