Case Study: Greenbrier achieves fast, scalable SharePoint data protection with AvePoint DocAve Backup and Recovery

Greenbrier Turns To DocAve® For SharePoint® Data Protection After Other Products Fail To Deliver

Greenbrier, a leading supplier of rail and marine transportation equipment, expanded its use of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 across 3,700+ employees, causing rapid growth of business-critical content. Their existing CommVault direct-to-tape backups became unacceptably slow (taking over 72 hours), were costly to scale for remote sites, and couldn’t support a planned disk-based enterprise data domain, leaving the company in need of a faster, scalable SharePoint protection solution.

Greenbrier deployed AvePoint DocAve Backup and Recovery to perform direct-to-disk weekly full and nightly incremental backups with automated pruning and item-level restores. The new solution cut SharePoint backup time from 72 hours to 26 minutes, sped up restores and content reorganization via out-of-place restores, integrated with their tape routines, and provided a scalable, conflict-free hybrid protection model supported by responsive AvePoint service.
