Case Study: Durst Corporation saves $200,000 a year and accelerates disaster recovery with Veritas Technologies (Backup Exec) and Microsoft Azure

Small business saves $200,000 a year with Veritas Backup Exec™ and Microsoft Azure

Durst Corporation, a five-generation plumbing manufacturer with under 50 employees, faced growing strain on its on‑premises backup system as business and daily order volumes increased. Daily incremental backups of about 27 GB were slowing the network and consuming data center resources, putting critical manufacturing, shipping, sales, and financial systems at risk and prompting the company to seek a more efficient, cost‑effective data protection strategy.

IT partner Computer Solutions East implemented a hybrid solution using Veritas Backup Exec 20.3 to back up Hyper‑V VMs to on‑site disk and Microsoft Azure Site Recovery to replicate backups to Azure Blob Storage. The combined approach preserved Backup Exec’s proven reliability while eliminating bandwidth bottlenecks, reduced recovery time from days or weeks to hours, simplified management, and delivered more than $200,000 in annual savings on hardware, services, and software.
