Case Study: Southland National Insurance Corporation dramatically reduces backup window and achieves rapid recovery with Asigra Cloud Backup

Southland National Insurance Corporation Dramatically Reduces Backup Window with Data Storage Corporation and Asigra Cloud Backup™

Southland National Insurance Corporation is an Alabama-based pre-need life insurance firm running a critical IBM System i and managed Windows environment. The company had been relying on tape backups and a SunGard contract that didn’t meet recovery objectives; after a third-party security audit, VP of Information Services Bentley Pearson prioritized improving business continuity and sought a more reliable, tested disaster recovery solution.

Southland selected Data Storage Corporation’s SafeData DR service powered by Asigra Cloud Backup, which provides encrypted, off-site cloud backups (about 1 TB) with an initial full “seed” and then block-level incremental backups to dramatically reduce backup windows. The subscription service delivers automated, rapidly restorable mirrored data, passed a rigorous nine-month testing period, met Southland’s recovery objectives at a negotiated price, and gave the IT team confidence in their disaster recovery posture.
