Case Study: Essex County Fire & Rescue Service achieves simpler cloud backup and faster recovery with Asigra

Essex County Fire & Rescue Service cuts backup tape handling by several hours a week with Asigra

Essex County Fire and Rescue Service (ECFRS), a UK fire and rescue service, faced challenges with an inefficient tape-based backup system that required several hours of manual work each week and was difficult to manage. They procured a cloud-based data recovery solution from Asigra through the G-Cloud framework to modernize their data protection.

Asigra implemented a cloud backup solution that protected over 22TB of data across physical and virtual servers. The results included significantly shorter backup timescales, improved staff efficiency by freeing IT resources for more strategic work, and a streamlined, policy-based approach to data protection that included encryption for compliance.
