Case Study: On-Ramp Indiana achieves tape-to-cloud backup transformation and recurring revenue with Vembu

Vembu provides On Ramp Indiana with great recurring revenue while simplifying the customer backup management

On Ramp Indiana (ORI.NET), a managed network services provider, faced repeated failures and high costs from traditional tape-based backups — bad media, drive failures, daily tape handling and off-site rotation — and needed a simple, feature-complete online replacement. To address this, On Ramp Indiana evaluated alternatives and selected Vembu’s Backup & DR Solution (Vembu) for its low cost, Exchange/SQL modules, and ease of use.

On Ramp Indiana implemented Vembu’s solution on Dell servers with replication, storing roughly 8TB of customer data and offering self-install or remote setup. The Vembu deployment delivered daily off-site backups, email notifications and easy restores, converting 29 SMB customers to the service, generating over $1,000/month in new recurring revenue, and saving customers an estimated $2,500 over five years compared with tape; ORI.NET expects to at least double or triple its installed base with further marketing.
