Case Study: Preferred IT Group, Inc. achieves uninterrupted business continuity and rapid server recovery with Datto SIRIS

Preferred IT Protects Manufacturer from Server Failure

Preferred IT Group, a managed IT services provider in the Midwest, was working with Rogers Electro-Matics, an Indiana electronic-controls manufacturer that relied on a legacy application running on an aging Dell server. Preferred IT recommended upgrading to a Datto SIRIS backup appliance and replacing the old server hardware, but the client was hesitant — then the Dell server’s RAID card failed, risking loss of critical production files and downtime.

Preferred IT used the Datto SIRIS Instant Virtualization to spin up the failed server’s latest image and run it from the appliance for nearly a month while new hardware and repairs were completed. The result: zero downtime, faster office application performance, verified RTO/RPO for the manufacturer, and peace of mind that business continuity would be maintained in future failures.
