Case Study: Layfield Group Limited achieves automated legal hold and reliable endpoint backups with TechValidate (CrashPlan)

Layfield Group Limited chooses CrashPlan for endpoint backup, automates legal hold process

Layfield Group Limited, a medium-sized industrial manufacturer, was struggling with endpoint data loss from lost or stolen laptops and hard drive failures. These incidents drained IT resources, threatened revenue and compliance, and complicated e-discovery/legal-hold and disaster recovery initiatives.

Layfield deployed CrashPlan (Code42) as a fully hosted public-cloud endpoint backup, gaining buy-in after a cost‑benefit discussion. The solution automated legal holds, increased backup reliability and endpoint security, lowered costs and IT hours (saving an estimated 1–10 hours per week), simplified restores and migrations, and improved end-user productivity through self-service restores and mobile access.
