Case Study: Coastal Broker Insurance Services achieves faster disaster recovery with Sureline Systems SUREedge

Coastal Broker Insurance Services - Customer Case Study

Coastal Broker Insurance Services, a Pleasanton, CA insurance broker serving difficult-to-place property, casualty, and transportation risks, needed a business continuity and disaster recovery solution that could keep critical data available at all times. Its earlier setup, using Microsoft DPM and Symantec Net Backup, could not meet its RTO or RPO requirements if a server failed.

Sureline Systems provided SUREedge, a BCDR appliance that could scale with Coastal’s data needs and run in a private cloud setup. The solution supported full weekly backups, daily incrementals with a 4-week retention policy, and weekly application snapshots with an 8-day retention period, while failover in less than a minute exceeded Coastal’s RTO expectations. The company also cited strong encryption and a tremendous ROI compared with its previous backup plan.
