Case Study: Symmetry Software achieves unified offsite backups without added hardware or licensing with StarWind Software's Virtual Tape Library

Symmetry Software improved their backup environment without changing the existing infrastructure and additional costs with StarWind Virtual Tape Library

Symmetry Software, an American payroll-tax application company with a small, non‑converged IT environment (a few Office 365 onsite servers and Mac workstations), needed a homogeneous backup approach to move all backups to a single offsite location. At the time, Macs were backed up to Backblaze but the rest of the data had no offsite copy, so the company sought a solution that wouldn’t require replacing infrastructure or adding cost.

Using StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL), Symmetry Software consolidated backups to their existing Backblaze account without buying new hardware or additional licenses and without changing their current infrastructure. The change systematized their data, extended offsite protection across the whole IT environment, and—backed by responsive StarWind support—delivered unified, cost‑effective backup coverage.
