Case Study: IDS Management achieves fast, reliable restores and subscription-based cost savings with Bacula Enterprise Edition (Bacula Systems)

IDS Management Rely on Bacula Backup and Data Recovery

IDS Management, a Toronto‑based provider of transaction processing and risk‑management solutions serving major ecommerce clients, needed a reliable, fast restore capability and a simpler, more affordable licensing model after finding their previous backup vendor’s pricing complicated and costly. Recommended to them, Bacula Systems’ Bacula Enterprise Edition was chosen to meet these needs.

Bacula Systems deployed Bacula Enterprise Edition in about two weeks and now protects two data centers (one staging, one production), roughly five hypervisors and 40 virtual machines, and supports an environment that has processed roughly $5 billion in transactions. The subscription‑based pricing has reduced costs, restores are consistently fast, uptime targets are met, and Bacula Systems’ responsive support keeps the solution running quietly in the background.
