Case Study: Ennepe‑Ruhr‑Kreis achieves continuous, 24/7 reliable data protection with SEP Software

Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis - Customer Case Study

Ennepe‑Ruhr‑Kreis, a German public authority, needed to replace BackupExec and protect a complex, always‑on IT landscape including VMware with over 300 VMs, Windows and Linux servers, Exchange DAG, MSSQL, SharePoint, MySQL, Oracle, and multiple NetApp systems. They chose SEP Software’s SEP sesam to meet these requirements and to ensure reliable, German 24/7 support for continuous service and control‑centre operations.

SEP Software, supported by partner Bechtle Solingen, deployed SEP sesam across the environment—providing VMware and agent‑level protection, NDMP backups for NetApp, and a disk‑to‑tape workflow with Si3 deduplication and LTO. The implementation replaced BackupExec, now protects more than 300 VMs, reduced backup storage through deduplication, and delivered the dependable, around‑the‑clock support Ennepe‑Ruhr‑Kreis required.
