Case Study: The College achieves ransomware protection with StoneFly Air-Gapped Nodes

College Gets Ransomware Protection with StoneFly Air-Gapped Nodes

The College in Detroit needed to protect thousands of students, faculty, and staff while keeping learning resources, scholarship data, and sensitive PII available from anywhere at any time. To reduce the risk of ransomware, data loss, and downtime without replacing its existing IT environment, the college turned to StoneFly and its backup protection solutions.

StoneFly implemented DR365 Veeam-Immutable Veeam-Air-Gapped (VIVA) nodes, giving the college automated air-gapping, immutable WORM volumes, and isolated storage for critical backups. As a result, The College gained stronger ransomware protection, reduced management overhead, and faster recovery options such as instant VM recovery and granular file restores, helping it restore operations with near-zero downtime and lower RTOs.
