Case Study: Utah Transit Authority reduces backup time and improves archiving with Nexsan Assureon

Utah Transit Authority Deploys Nexsan Assure on for Automated Archiving and Dr

Utah Transit Authority (UTA), which operates buses, light rail, commuter rail, and other transit services across Utah’s Wasatch Front, was generating massive amounts of surveillance video and unstructured data. This growth was stretching its backup window to five days and creating pressure to improve archiving, compliance, and disaster recovery without adding complexity for a small IT team. UTA turned to Nexsan Assureon for an automated archiving and DR solution.

Nexsan implemented two Assureon systems in mirrored mode across two nearby sites, along with Nexsan SASBeast storage and archiving software integration, to separate backup and archive streams and support replication. As a result, UTA reduced its backup window from five days to one, improved email archiving and recovery performance, and gained confidence that its data is protected for compliance and disaster recovery. Nexsan also helped UTA achieve storage optimization, simplified management, and scalable capacity for future growth.
