Case Study: Node4 reduces Microsoft Office 365 restore times with NetApp SaaS Backup

Node4 Guards Business-Critical Microsoft Office 365 Data

UK-based IT service provider Node4 sought to enhance data protection for its own and its future customers' Microsoft Office 365 environments. The challenge was that Office 365's native capabilities did not adequately protect against risks like accidental deletion, ransomware, or malicious attacks, and its 30-day restore window was slow and limiting. Node4 turned to NetApp and its NetApp SaaS Backup for Microsoft Office 365 to provide an extra layer of security.

By implementing NetApp SaaS Backup, Node4 gained the ability to store backup copies of critical data outside of the Microsoft cloud. The NetApp solution dramatically reduced restore times from days to minutes and provided indefinite access to point-in-time backups. This successful implementation equipped Node4 to offer a complete managed Office 365 service with robust backup as a key differentiator, opening up new customer opportunities in the process.
