Case Study: a U.S. Federal Agency achieves faster, more reliable backups with Connection Inc and Data Domain disk-based backup

How a U.S. Federal Government Agency Implemented Disk-Based Solutions

A U.S. Federal Agency was facing significant challenges with an unstable, tape-based backup system that suffered from frequent failures, high costs, and slow, cumbersome restore processes. These issues placed an undue burden on both the IT staff and the budget. The agency turned to vendor Connection Inc for a solution, which involved implementing a disk-based backup system from Data Domain.

Connection Inc's solution provided the agency with a highly reliable disk-based backup system that featured data deduplication and RAID 6. This implementation drastically improved performance and accessibility, allowing restores that once took days to be completed in about five minutes. The new system eliminated the physical limitations of tape and freed up IT resources, resulting in major improvements in operational efficiency and service quality for the agency's end-users.
