Case Study: Jacksonville Jaguars achieves speedier, more reliable cloud backup and recovery with Asigra

Jacksonville Jaguars Select Cloud-Based Data Protection for Speedier and More Reliable Recovery than Tape Backup

The Jacksonville Jaguars, an NFL franchise based in Jacksonville, FL, were protecting roughly 4 TB across 60 servers (30 critical, 15 virtualized on Hyper‑V and VMware) with a tape-based backup process that was slow, error‑prone and ill-suited for disaster recovery. Tape lacked enterprise features like continuous data protection, multi‑platform recovery and offsite replication, leaving the team exposed to natural disasters and consuming significant IT staff time.

The team moved to a hybrid cloud backup from Yotta280 powered by Asigra—an agentless, VM‑based solution providing policy‑based protection, CDP, backup lifecycle management, AES‑256 encryption and offsite replication. The change delivered faster, more reliable recoveries, responsive support, elimination of agent management, successful restores in production, and time savings of about three staff hours per week (150+ hours annually), with a scalable design for future growth.
