Case Study: Financial Holding Company achieves zero downtime backup scalability with ITsavvy

Financial Holding Company - Customer Case Study

Financial Holding Company, a subsidiary of a financial holding company headquartered in Iowa, was running out of space on its existing EMC Avamar backup solution. As a heavily regulated financial institution with 26 locations and 45 ATMs, it needed a secure, low-risk way to expand backup capacity without disrupting operations, and turned to ITsavvy for help with EMC Avamar and VMware experience.

ITsavvy designed and implemented a creative migration that converted the existing 2-node Avamar setup into a 5-node grid by adding a utility node, a spare node, and an additional production node. The team tested the process in its lab first, then executed it with minimal disruption, achieving zero downtime, no missed backups, and no business risk while staying within budget.
