Case Study: Oswego Village achieves secure, set-and-forget VMware backups and storage efficiency with Carbonite

Oswego Village - Customer Case Study

Oswego Village, a 35,000‑person Illinois municipality with 130 employees, needed a reliable, low‑maintenance backup for 3 TB of data across 12 VMware servers while meeting FOIA, HIPAA and CJIS retention requirements. With a one‑person IT shop and prior use of Mozy Pro, the organization wanted an end‑to‑end solution that protected virtual machines both onsite and in the cloud without heavy day‑to‑day management.

They migrated to Carbonite’s full‑stack offering—dedicated appliance, backup software and cloud—with a personalized implementation engineer who seeded the initial data and completed setup in under two hours. The isolated, set‑and‑forget appliance supports VM recovery, runs VMs directly if needed, and achieves strong compression (7 TB appliance at ~60% capacity), delivering smooth onboarding, reduced admin overhead, scalable capacity and continued regulatory compliance at a price comparable to their previous service.
