Case Study: Helston Garages Group achieves streamlined backups and stronger email security with Barracuda Networks

Cornish car dealership gets out of neutral with data backup solution

Helston Garages Group is a leading regional car dealership headquartered in Helston, Cornwall, with 28 sites across the southwest and about 800 users. The small IT team faced an unsustainable manual tape-backup regime, slow WAN links that needed block-level protection, time-consuming email archiving, and growing concern about spam, viruses and cyber attacks.

Helston implemented Barracuda Backup (appliance with cloud replication), Barracuda Message Archiver and Barracuda Email Security Gateway, automating backups, enabling block-level transfers and archiving to effectively unlimited cloud storage. The change eliminated tape-handling overhead, lowered total cost of ownership, improved restore confidence and delivered inboxes largely free of spam and malware, strengthening business continuity and security.
