Case Study: Ace Manufacturing achieves zero data loss and rapid restores with Unitrends

Ace Manufacturing - Customer Case Study

ACE Manufacturing, based in Saskatoon and known as “The Aluminum Specialists,” operates two distinct divisions serving transportation and custom fabrication customers. With a very small IT function (one CAD/IT manager, Andrew Wright), the company struggled with an unreliable Acronis white‑box backup that had performance and database issues and lacked a dependable offsite replication strategy—rotating physical media was impractical and Acronis cloud didn’t mirror local backups.

ACE implemented a Unitrends Recovery 714S appliance with Unitrends Forever Cloud to keep an exact local copy and replicate to the cloud. The all‑in‑one solution delivered rapid, reliable restores (including easier SQL recovery), eliminated data loss since deployment, reduced administration for the lone IT resource, and restored confidence through cloud backup and strong vendor support.
