Case Study: Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf achieves 5–6 hour full backups and fast, reliable restores with SEP Software (SEP sesam)

Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf - Customer Case Study

Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, a private French‑language college in Montreal, was modernizing its 100% virtualized VMware environment and needed a new backup solution that fully supported Novell/OES11, NFS extended attributes and GroupWise after poor experiences with HP Data Protector. The IT team selected SEP Software’s SEP sesam to address those specific Novell/NFS and backup requirements.

SEP Software deployed SEP sesam across the college’s ~3.5 TB infrastructure, providing same‑day server installation and responsive vendor support, working GroupWise backups, and reliable Disk‑to‑Disk‑to‑Tape. The result: full backup windows fell from nearly 24 hours to about 5–6 hours, restores became near‑instant and straightforward, and the college gained a scalable, dependable backup platform to support future growth.
