Case Study: a public accounting company secures disaster recovery and backup with RapidScale

Public Accounting Company - Customer Case Study

A public accounting company with 300 employees faced significant challenges due to aging server infrastructure and the lack of a formal disaster recovery plan. With a small internal IT team, the firm needed to mitigate the risk of costly downtime, which could amount to $31,000 per hour during peak season. They engaged RapidScale to implement its Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) and Backup as a Service (BaaS) solutions to address these vulnerabilities.

RapidScale provided a fully managed solution that secured the company's production environment in Tier 3 data centers with a four-hour recovery time objective. This offloaded the management of backups and disaster recovery testing from the internal team, saving them approximately eight hours of maintenance per week. The solution from RapidScale gave the CIO peace of mind that their critical business applications would be protected, allowing the IT staff to focus on strategic projects and employee support.
