Case Study: The Air Zoo achieves rapid, reliable restores and ditches tape backup with Unitrends Recovery 710

The Air Zoo - Customer Case Study

The Air Zoo is an interactive aviation museum in Portage, Michigan, with flight simulators, a 4-D theater and extensive ticketing, retail and artifact databases. The museum was struggling with aging tape backups that lacked capacity, frequently failed and could not reliably protect its virtualized Windows servers and VMware environment, leaving critical systems at risk.

Air Zoo replaced tape with a Unitrends Recovery 710 appliance, chosen for ease of deployment, simple software and strong onsite support. The new solution automated backups, met backup windows, enabled fast individual-file restores and delivered greater storage and reliability—giving the museum faster recoveries and peace of mind.
