Case Study: Kennebec Water District achieves uninterrupted operations during database migration with Axcient Appliance

Axcient Appliance Protects Data During Server Failure

Kennebec Water District, a municipal water supplier in central Maine, was working with local MSP A Partner in Technology to migrate its database to the cloud when an out-of-warranty server failed, halting operations across six locations with only weeks until the planned migration. The sudden hardware failure threatened data access and business continuity during a critical transition.

A Partner in Technology failed over the database to an Axcient Appliance, spinning up the server as a VM and using the Axcient Business Recovery Cloud with support from Axcient and the software vendor. Users were back online within minutes and continued business-as-usual for the three-week migration window, avoiding data loss, minimizing downtime, and saving the district thousands in potential lost revenue.
