Case Study: Mid-Sized Manufacturing Company achieves disaster recovery, faster restores, and cost savings with Unitrends

Mid-Sized Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A mid-sized mid-Atlantic manufacturer of small automotive motors (founded in 1988) with a large automated plant and over 15,000 employees relied on an understaffed IT team of two and an aging Backup Exec setup. They faced rising licensing costs, legal requirements to retain monthly backups indefinitely, full backups that took over a day, and no true disaster recovery—only data copies—which left production and users vulnerable.

They deployed a Unitrends Recovery 823 appliance, an all-in-one backup and instant-recovery solution that covers physical and VMware servers, SQL and Active Directory, and long-term archival. The result: faster backups and rapid restores, simplified administration, lower total cost of ownership, a compliant archival workflow, robust disaster recovery capability, and greater peace of mind for IT and users.
