Case Study: Special Olympics achieves faster, more reliable cloud backups and compliant long-term data retention with Asigra
A Asigra Case Study
Special Olympics Upgrades to Cloud-Based Solution for Advantages in Data Retention and Recovery over Tape Backup
Special Olympics’ Irish branch, a Dublin‑based nonprofit protecting terabytes of donation and participant data across physical and virtual servers at multiple sites, was hindered by a legacy tape backup system. Tape created data retention issues, slow recoveries, high management overhead and exposure to compliance risk under Irish Data Protection requirements.
The organization migrated to a public cloud backup service from Another 9 powered by Asigra—an automated, agentless solution with AES‑256 encryption, multi‑site/offsite recovery and policy‑based protection. The upgrade cut recovery times from days to hours, improved security and manageability, freed IT staff for mission work and delivered about $3K/month in reduced hardware, software and management costs.
