Case Study: Washington State Department of Transportation achieves faster, more resilient data recovery with OpenText Data Protector

Government agency uses Data Protector to standardize and streamline its backup, recovery, and off-site replication processes

Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) needed a more affordable, reliable, and easier-to-manage way to standardize backup and data recovery across seven administrative regions. The agency evaluated several vendors, including OpenText, and was looking for a solution that could improve productivity, support existing and future systems, and move from tape to disk backups.

OpenText’s Data Protector was selected and deployed with HPE StoreOnce appliances, enabling centralized backup management and streamlined recovery workflows. The six-week migration was completed quickly, manual tasks were reduced, backup speeds improved, and the team gained daily reporting and better efficiency; OpenText also helped WSDOT lower costs through competitive capacity pricing and stronger budget control.
