Case Study: REDspace Inc. achieves $50K-$500K in endpoint data-recovery savings with TechValidate

REDspace Inc. replaces Symantec BackupExec with CrashPlan, saves $50K in data recovery

REDspace Inc., a medium‑enterprise computer software firm, faced costly endpoint data loss from lost/stolen laptops, hard drive failures and during OS refreshes/migrations. Prior incidents drained IT resources, reduced employee productivity and impacted revenue, so the company sought a reliable endpoint backup solution as part of its disaster recovery/business continuity plan.

They deployed CrashPlan as a private‑cloud (on‑premises) replacement for Symantec BackupExec and Time Machine. The move increased backup reliability and self‑service restores, reduced IT hours spent on backups, restores and migrations (saving 1–10 hours/week), boosted end‑user productivity, and realized between $50,000 and $500,000 in avoided endpoint data recovery costs.
