Case Study: Solut Ltd. achieves rapid disaster recovery and uninterrupted municipal operations with Datto SIRIS

How Solut Ltd. and Datto Kept this Small Town Running

Solut Ltd., an Edmonton-based IT managed services firm, supports over 150 local small- and mid-sized clients and served as the fully outsourced IT department for the Town of Mundare. When routine audits revealed the town was relying on slow, unreliable USB backups, Solut faced the risk of prolonged outages for critical services—especially during a planned financial system rollout.

Solut deployed Datto SIRIS for fast, reliable recovery and proactive alerting; when the town’s new server suffered a hardware failure, Solut virtualized the environment on the Datto appliance within an hour and kept operations running for five days until replacement hardware arrived. The result: no shutdown of town services, preserved access to the financial system, impressed town staff, and Solut standardizing Datto for new clients.
