Case Study: Safety Products Inc. achieves hurricane-ready business continuity with Unitrends

Safety Products Inc recovers from ransomware in under 1 hour with Unitrends

Safety Products Inc, a Florida-based manufacturer of safety equipment, faced critical disaster recovery challenges due to its hurricane-prone location. Their previous solutions from EMC and Carbonite failed to provide reliable backup or a working off-site recovery system. The company needed a unified solution for both local backup and off-site disaster recovery, leading them to the vendor Unitrends.

Unitrends implemented a solution combining virtual backup appliances with replication to the Unitrends Forever Cloud for Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS). This allowed Safety Products Inc to successfully failover to the cloud during Hurricane Irma, keeping critical applications like their ERP running without interruption. The solution also enabled a recovery in under one hour from a separate ransomware attack. As a result, SPI eliminated the need to manage and fund a secondary DR site, outsourcing their entire disaster recovery process to Unitrends.
