Case Study: Ford, Bacon & Davis achieves faster data recovery and business continuity with Axcient

Ford, Bacon & Davis Turns To Axcient To Mitigate Risk, Ensure Business Continuity

Ford, Bacon & Davis is a privately held, multi-discipline engineering, procurement and construction management firm with over 850 employees and offices across Louisiana and South Carolina. Their mostly virtual IT environment (55 servers, VMware, >60 TB of data) relied on CommVault Simpana for local backup but lacked true disaster recovery, leaving the company exposed to unacceptable business continuity risk.

After evaluating options, IT Director Dean Butler deployed Axcient’s business recovery cloud. Implementation was quick and included migrating physical servers to virtual, delivering faster data recovery and a secure, holistic disaster-recovery solution with data hosted in the Axcient cloud to protect the main office, remote sites and the firm’s entire IT environment.
