Case Study: Fairview School District achieves faster, automated, and reliable backups with SEP Software

Fairview School District - Customer Case Study

Fairview School District needed a new backup solution that would support NSS file systems during their migration from NetWare to OES 11; their incumbent Backup Exec did not support OES 11 and couldn’t cover the district’s mixed physical and virtual server environment. The district turned to SEP Software and its backup solution to find a single, reliable product that would protect GroupWise, MS SQL, Windows, Linux, virtual and physical servers across the campus.

SEP Software provided a smooth transition to its backup platform, which properly utilizes the district’s autoloader and supports NSS on OES 11, enabling a more automated disk-to-disk-to-tape workflow. Since deploying SEP Software, Fairview backs up more data in shorter windows—incrementals finish in 20–30 minutes and full ~3 TB weekend backups consistently complete—reducing management time and delivering reliable, scalable protection.
