Case Study: Central Technology Solutions achieves lower costs and seamless hardware-free BCDR with Axcient x360Recover

CTS Picks Axcient Over Datto for Cost, Capabilities, and Support

Central Technology Solutions (CTS), a managed service provider, needed a more cost-effective, feature-rich business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) and SaaS backup solution while simplifying its tech stack and improving vendor support. CTS had been using Datto but faced hardware and licensing costs, limited functionality, and wanted a hardware-free option that could cover Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup reliably.

CTS migrated to Axcient’s x360Recover (Direct-to-Cloud and appliance options) and x360Cloud, leveraging agent-based deployment and Chain-Free backups for an easy migration. The switch delivered “unbeatable” pricing, higher MSP-focused support, effortless migration of ~700 mailboxes, proven recovery in a real server outage, pooled archival storage to avoid license churn, and roughly 30% margins on x360Recover—enabling CTS to standardize services and meet multiple client needs with one vendor.
