Case Study: SachsenEnergie achieves reliable XEN backup and recovery with Storware

SachsenEnergie AG Implements Storware Backup and Recovery for XEN Virtualization

SachsenEnergie AG, a major municipal utility in Eastern Germany, faced the challenge of protecting its XEN virtualization environment, which lacked a comprehensive backup solution. Their previous strategies were inconsistent, relying on local backups or having no backups at all. They required a solution that could integrate with IBM Spectrum Protect and handle tape libraries. Storware provided its backup and recovery solution to address this critical need.

The Storware solution delivered a centralized, agent-free backup system that seamlessly integrated with IBM Spectrum Protect. This implementation provided SachsenEnergie with a real-time workflow console for easy management, quick configuration, and reliable data protection for their dozen hosts and high three-digit number of VMs. Storware's solution greatly improved the company's backup and recovery processes, ensuring business continuity and proving to be a versatile tool for other virtualization platforms.
