Case Study: Grant Street Group achieves fast cross-platform endpoint recovery and major IT time savings with Code42's CrashPlan

Replacing underperforming legacy backup to gain cross-platform capabilities

Grant Street Group, a SaaS financial services firm that processes billions in payments and must meet PCI DSS and SSAE-16 requirements, faced an underperforming legacy backup system. The old solution was slow, crash-prone, required daily IT intervention, lacked remote admin and self-restore capabilities, and left a geographically dispersed, cross-platform workforce exposed and unproductive after data loss events.

Grant Street deployed CrashPlan in a hybrid-cloud model—keeping highly sensitive data behind its firewall and using the public cloud for the rest—rolling the solution out to ~150 users with professional services and Active Directory integration. CrashPlan’s decentralized, cross-platform endpoint backup and self-restore features delivered fast, secure restores (including a 300 GB local restore in about an hour and remote user recoveries), simplified administration, improved compliance support, and saved the company hundreds of IT and user hours.
