Case Study: Intermountain Electronics achieves advanced ransomware protection and 50% cost savings with Druva

Intermountain Electronics + Druva Advanced Ransomware Protection and 50% Cost Savings

Intermountain Electronics (IE), a 35‑year‑old manufacturer of custom power and control solutions experiencing roughly 20% annual growth (about 120% over six years), struggled with inadequate data protection. Their nine‑person IT team found the existing Unitrends backup unable to scale, limited to 90‑day retention with unpredictable costs, unable to meet SQL Server requirements, slow restores (often 45 minutes to 14 hours), and left Microsoft 365 mail and OneDrive unprotected—once causing permanent data loss—while exposing the company to ransomware risk.

IE moved to the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud to protect Microsoft 365 and hybrid workloads (VMware, Windows, SQL Server) and enabled Druva’s Accelerated Ransomware Recovery. The platform delivered a single pane of glass for predictable budgeting, continuous SQL backups, ransomware detection and immutable protection, and faster incident response. As a result, email restores now take about 30 seconds (vs. 14 hours), restorations are 99.93% faster, annual backup costs dropped roughly 50%, and the company gained stronger cyber‑insurance terms and peace of mind.
