Case Study: Netology achieves near-instant recovery and stronger ransomware protection with Datto

For Ransomware Protection, Netology Invests in Datto

Netology, an IT services provider for small businesses across Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, faced a wake‑up call when long‑time client Sierentz North America suffered a ransomware attack. The fund was using a rudimentary once‑daily off‑site file sync; Netology found three infected machines, isolated the threat and restored from the most recent backup, but the incident still caused hours of downtime and revealed the need for a more robust business continuity solution.

Netology deployed Datto’s Total Data Protection platform—using frequent backups, Screenshot Verification, Instant Virtualization and both local and cloud storage—to deliver near‑instant recovery. As a result, restore times dropped from hours to minutes, the risk of paying ransoms was greatly reduced, and Datto became a standard part of Netology’s support offering, giving clients faster recovery and greater peace of mind.
