Case Study: Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) achieves simple, cost-effective backups and 72% reduced storage footprint with Barracuda Networks (Barracuda Backup 690)

Optimum Efficiency and Peace of Mind, Delivered

The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), a Maryland-based accrediting organization serving more than 15,000 sites across the U.S. and Canada, needed a reliable way to protect email, database, and file servers. Paul Chen, the lone system administrator, found his third‑party backup solution costly, opaque, and limited in retention and restore options, so he sought an easy, affordable solution that required minimal time and expertise.

IAC deployed the Barracuda Backup 690, which installed in about an hour and delivers simple daily management, granular file restores, and 24/7 support. The appliance reduced backup storage footprint by 72% through inline deduplication, lowered costs, freed Chen to focus on other projects, and provided reliable, easy-to-manage recovery and peace of mind.
