Case Study: Sector Alarm achieves faster recovery, reduced IT oversight and lower TCO with Cohesity

Cohesity Secondary Data Solution Beats the Competition on Performance, Ease-of-Use, Cost and Efficiency

Sector Alarm, a Europe-wide security solutions provider founded in 1995 with over 510,000 customers and 1,800+ employees, was struggling with a slow, hard-to-manage secondary storage environment. The IT team had to maintain multiple backup systems, couldn’t meet recovery SLAs consistently, and wanted a hyperconverged, easy-to-use solution that would simplify management, speed restores, support compliant replication, and lower costs.

After a successful proof-of-concept, Sector Alarm deployed Cohesity hyperconverged appliances across its data centers, choosing Cohesity for superior backup performance, a simpler interface and better TCO. The new solution cut weekly administration from 10 hours to under one, sped restores to meet/exceed SLAs, provided indexed search, instant mount, test/dev and analytics capabilities, enabled seamless replication to headquarters, supported tape archiving, and improved overall scalability and cost-efficiency.
