Case Study: Cara Networks achieves 50% reduction in labor costs with CloudBerry Lab Managed Backup Service

Cara Networks Reduced Labor Costs by 50% with Managed Backup Service

Cara Networks, a UK IT outsourcing firm serving over 40 clients and 3,000+ end users, faced unreliable, time-consuming and costly tape and external-drive backups and needed a central way to manage and monitor all client backups. After evaluating options, Cara Networks selected CloudBerry Managed Backup (from CloudBerry Lab) to replace tape-based processes and provide a single, affordable backup service.

CloudBerry Managed Backup delivered centralized monitoring, block-level backups, offsite cloud storage with a local copy option, and a simple pricing model (powered by Amazon S3 and the CloudBerry Backup client). Implementing CloudBerry reduced backup-related labor and costs by 50% (backup checks dropped from ~6 hours to ~3 hours for one administrator), removed tape management, and provided reliable automatic online backups — demonstrating measurable time and expense savings for Cara Networks.
