Case Study: McCourt Global (real estate & investment leader) achieves reliable business continuity and lower recovery costs with Axcient

Real Estate, Investment Leader Chooses Axcient to Keep Business Running

McCourt Global, a diversified investment firm with businesses in real estate, capital, and sports & media and offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills, needed a more reliable, cost-effective disaster recovery and business continuity solution. IT director Holt Satterfield found the company’s legacy backup approach expensive and incomplete, rejected colocation and several vendors, and wanted a self-service, easy-to-use platform that would allow routine DR testing without extra fees or multiple vendors.

Axcient provided an integrated local-and-cloud recovery-as-a-service platform that replaced multiple point products, enabled fast local server failover, and virtualized the environment in the cloud so staff could keep working during outages. The result was lower total cost of protection, broader infrastructure coverage, automated image-snapshot validation for recovery assurance, and simpler management and support through a single vendor.
