Case Study: Rugby School achieves automated ransomware detection and rapid file recovery with Unitrends

Rugby School - Customer Case Study

Rugby School, a historic day and boarding co-educational independent school in Warwickshire with about 800 pupils, was struggling to protect a large virtual environment (50+ Windows servers, 300+ Windows 10 desktops and 800+ Macs). Chronically understaffed IT and unreliable legacy backup tools left recoveries slow and the school exposed to ransomware, hackers and server crashes, so they needed a reliable, easy‑to‑manage data protection and disaster recovery solution with longer retention.

The school deployed a Unitrends Recovery Series 926S appliance (36 TB usable) plus 12 TB of Unitrends Forever Cloud with five‑year retention and the Unitrends Pledge refresh program. The solution delivers automated ransomware detection, rapid file restores (under five minutes), extended cloud retention and full disaster recovery; as a result Rugby School has trustworthy backups, faster recoveries and spends less than an hour per week managing backups.
