Case Study: Great White North Technology Consulting Inc. avoids downtime in the Canadian Arctic with Datto

Avoiding Downtime in the Canadian Arctic

Great White North Technology Consulting Inc. (GWNTC), an MSP based in Timmins, Ontario, supports clients in the remote Canadian Arctic where subzero temperatures, blizzards, poor Internet and long travel times create high risk for data loss and extended downtime. One customer, a shipping management company in Rankin Inlet, was vulnerable while using an older daily-backup solution that left them exposed during multi-day outages.

GWNTC deployed Datto’s Total Data Protection platform, moving to hourly backups, Instant Virtualization on the local appliance and automated alerting with 24/7 support. The result: rapid remote recovery without costly travel, fewer on-site visits, quicker detection of issues, and greater confidence that clients can withstand prolonged outages and extreme weather.
