Case Study: Lavendon Group plc achieves centralized, low-maintenance global backups with SEP Software (SEP sesam)

Lavendon Group plc - Customer Case Study

Lavendon Group plc, a global leader in powered access equipment rental, faced a critical backup challenge when Symantec Backup Exec dropped support for NSS volumes on Novell NetWare, leaving them unable to protect vital data across a mixed environment of physical and virtual servers. To replace their time-consuming server-by-server processes, Lavendon evaluated and selected SEP Software’s SEP sesam as their new backup solution.

SEP Software deployed SEP sesam to provide centralized, cross-platform backup management (Linux, Windows, NetWare, VMware, SQL, Exchange, GroupWise, etc.), using patented Multi-Streaming to run multiple data streams simultaneously. The solution was installed at the UK HQ in days and rolled out remotely to international sites, delivering minimal maintenance, faster backups, and zero backup/restore failures to date—making SEP sesam a core part of Lavendon’s DR strategy and significantly reducing administrative overhead.
