Case Study: Union Grove High School achieves full recovery from a storage disaster with Unitrends Recovery

Full Recovery from a Storage Disaster

Union Grove High School District, a small Wisconsin school serving a tight‑knit community, depends on a single IT administrator, Meko Stanosevic, to manage its servers, storage and networks. During a planned summer infrastructure upgrade, an incompatible storage controller caused all virtual machines to go offline, threatening school applications and data and creating a potentially catastrophic outage.

Because Stanosevic had taken full backups to a Unitrends Recovery 812 the night before, he was able to restore all VMs the next day and get systems back online quickly. The appliance provided full system and application protection (including accidental‑delete and ransomware protection); satisfied with the recovery, the district later upgraded to a larger Unitrends Recovery 824S for greater capacity and continued ease of use and support.
