Government Municipality cuts backup window by 35% with StoneFly

The customer, a government municipality, faced significant challenges with its slow and complex tape-based backup system. The process was labor-intensive, often taking over 72 hours, and struggled to scale with the organization's growing data volume. To address this, they implemented the DR365V backup and disaster recovery appliance from StoneFly.

StoneFly's solution, powered by Veeam, utilized NVMe, SSD, and SAS drives alongside multiple NAS-based data movers to enable parallel processing and eliminate latency. This implementation resulted in a 35% reduction in the backup window and drastically cut the time IT staff spent on backups from 70% to 20% of their daily workload. Furthermore, StoneFly's appliance automated critical security features like policy-based air-gapping and immutability, providing robust ransomware protection and seamless scalability for future growth.
