Case Study: Front-safe delivers enterprise-class backup to more clients with IBM Spectrum Protect

Making enterprise-class backup commercially cost-effective and available to all

Front-safe, a Danish managed service provider, identified that small and mid-sized businesses lacked access to the high-quality data protection solutions available to large enterprises due to cost and complexity. They aimed to commercialize their own cloud portal software to deliver enterprise-grade backup as a service.

Using IBM Spectrum Protect software, IBM System Storage, and Frontsafe Cloud Portal, IBM provided the scalable infrastructure for the solution. This enabled Front-safe and its partner network to offer faster, more cost-effective backup services. The results included data backup speeds 60% faster than alternatives and a 50% reduction in backup infrastructure costs, allowing IBM's enterprise-class data protection to be offered to a broader market.
