Case Study: Gerawan Farms achieves rapid endpoint recovery and SOX compliance with TechValidate

Gerawan Farms replaces Commvault, rescues CIO and supports SOX compliance with CrashPlan

Gerawan Farms, a medium‑enterprise agricultural company, faced growing endpoint data risk — from lost or stolen laptops (including the CIO’s), hard‑drive crashes and the need to expand remote work — while also meeting data security/privacy, disaster‑recovery and SOX compliance requirements.

They replaced Commvault, manual USB backups and restrictive data policies with CrashPlan (Code42’s public‑cloud endpoint protection with onsite master encryption keys), enabling fast restores (including recovering the CIO’s stolen files), reliable automated backups, legal‑hold preservation, fewer support tickets and IT hours, increased end‑user productivity, and support for SOX compliance.
