Case Study: Hamilton County achieves cloud-based protection for IBM OS/400 and endpoints with Carbonite Cloud Backup

Hamilton County protects IBM OS/400 data with Carbonite Cloud Backup

Hamilton County, Iowa (population ~15,700) relies on a one-person IT team to manage a critical IBM Power8 server running IBM OS/400 for payroll, property tax and supplier payments. The county’s previous tape-based backup was slow and cumbersome, making file recovery time-consuming and putting essential financial and operational data at risk.

The county implemented Carbonite Cloud Backup to protect the IBM OS/400 system, its Windows servers, employee desktops and laptops, and an upcoming VMware virtual server. The migration from tape to cloud enabled fast, granular restores, simplified management, and full protection of the county’s critical systems and data.
