Case Study: Ward & Uptigrove achieves rapid restores and uninterrupted operations with Unitrends Recovery 822

Saving an Accounting Firm from the Taxing Job of Tape Backup

Ward & Uptigrove is a long-established chartered accounting firm in Listowel, Ontario, with over 50 staff serving 3,000+ clients. During tax season their tape-based backup process forced network downtime, took up to 30 hours to back up 1 TB of many small files, and made file recovery slow because tapes were offsite.

Their IT partner deployed Unitrends Recovery 822 appliances to disk-based backups with remote replication, protecting VMware and Citrix servers. Backups now run several times a day with no user disruption, a full bare-metal server recovery was completed in under an hour, and the firm gained fast restores, reliable disaster recovery and peace of mind.
