Case Study: Precision Dialogue Marketing achieves rapid restores and reliable disaster recovery with ExaGrid

Precision Dialogue Marketing Gains Rapid Restores, Reliable Disaster Recovery Solution with ExaGrid

Precision Dialogue Marketing (formerly Metrics Marketing Group) is an analytics-driven database and interactive marketing firm with a primary data center in Westlake, Ohio and a DR site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company relied on tape backups, which made offsite replication slow and labor-intensive, and needed a reliable, low-administration disaster recovery solution that fit a competitive IT budget.

Precision Dialogue installed ExaGrid appliances at both sites and integrated them with Symantec Backup Exec to enable automated online replication and disk-based backups. The turnkey solution was easy to deploy, delivered daily replication alerts, provided rapid restores (minutes for recent files) without rehydrating tapes, freed IT time, and offered scalable, cost-effective protection for their disaster recovery needs.
