Case Study: Miles & Stockbridge P.C. cuts data protection costs and simplifies backup with ClearSky Data

Making eDiscovery data accessible, cutting data backup and DR burden with ClearSky Data

Miles & Stockbridge P.C., a Baltimore-based law firm with six East Coast offices, was struggling to keep up with rapidly growing eDiscovery and legal data while meeting strict compliance and ISO certification requirements. Its lean IT team needed a better way to handle storage, backup, and disaster recovery than its existing NAS environment could provide, and it was also evaluating cloud and storage-as-a-service options.

ClearSky Data replaced the firm’s NAS-based approach with a single service for primary storage, backup, and DR, giving Miles & Stockbridge twice the capacity at about half the cost of the NAS component. ClearSky Data eliminated the need for separate backups and physical hardware provisioning, helped cut data protection costs by more than 40%, and provided full redundancy, near-zero RPO/RTO, and instant access to data across locations and the cloud.
