Case Study: Heartland Business Systems achieves 1¢/GB/month storage costs with Asigra Cloud Backup

Heartland Business Systems Deepens Asigra Partnership to Further Reduce Costs

Heartland Business Systems (HBS), an IT integration firm serving SMBs across Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, needed a modern automated off-site disaster recovery solution after customers began moving away from tape-based backups. HBS required a multi-tenant, easy-to-manage platform that could protect diverse, enterprise-class environments, replicate to a secondary data center, and keep licensing and storage costs low.

HBS implemented Asigra Cloud Backup’s agentless, multi-tenant platform and then migrated to Asigra Converged Data Protection Appliances. The deployment simplified management and replication, delivered immediate performance gains (8 TB migrated in a single weekend), reduced storage costs to roughly $0.01/GB/month, supported about 30% annual growth in the backup business, and provided a single supported hardware/software solution with lower TCO and improved recovery capabilities.
