Case Study: Grey County achieves reliable, affordable data backup and fast recovery with Microsoft Azure

County government reimagines recovery and backup, streamlines processes with Microsoft Azure and Zerto

Grey County, a Canadian government organization serving more than 96,000 residents, needed safe, reliable, and affordable data backup with fast recovery for essential services like ambulance, long-term care, and housing. Its stretched IT team was looking for a solution that could meet demanding requirements, and Microsoft Azure was part of the answer through a hybrid cloud setup.

Grey County implemented a hybrid architecture with Microsoft Azure and Zerto for continuous data protection and disaster recovery. Microsoft Azure helped streamline backup and recovery so dramatically that maintenance dropped from a full-time team of 13 to just one person, while also improving reporting, compliance visibility, real-time performance checks, and overall budget efficiency.
