Case Study: TreeHouse Interactive achieves 50% faster backups and 75% less backup administration with Quantum Corporation

Software-as-a-Service Company Relies on Disk-Tape Tiered Storage Solution to Help Manage Growth

TreeHouse Interactive, a growing SaaS provider of partner relationship management and marketing automation, was struggling with slow, error-prone backups of critical customer SQL data. Routine backups routinely ran into the workday, threatened lengthy restores, and consumed roughly 40% of the IT director’s time, creating a significant operational risk as the company scaled.

TreeHouse deployed an 8TB Quantum DXi6700 deduplication appliance with two Scalar i40 tape libraries (integrated with Symantec Backup Exec) and received hands-on help during setup. The disk-to-tape tiered solution halved backup times, cut backup administration by more than 75%, enabled reliable daily incremental and weekend full backups with offsite tape storage, delivered strong scalability and deduplication benefits, and provided fast, responsive vendor support.
