Case Study: City of Mont Belvieu, Texas achieves rapid system restoration with Zadara Storage

City of Mont Belvieu restores services in hours with Zadara Storage, avoiding $10,000 in costs

The City of Mont Belvieu, Texas, faced a major system-wide outage caused by a global CrowdStrike event, which halted its mission-critical operations. The city's challenge was to urgently restore services while contending with pre-set infrastructure capacity thresholds that hindered recovery efforts. Partnering with Zadara and their On Premise as-a-Service solution, the city needed to rapidly scale its resources to meet the unexpected demand.

Zadara provided a swift solution by temporarily expanding the city's resource quota, enabling the immediate restoration of servers via snapshots. This flexible, consumption-based approach allowed the city to scale its compute and storage capacity on demand without procuring new hardware. The results were a rapid recovery with an estimated cost of $10,000 to restore services and the avoidance of long-term financial strain, as Zadara's model ensured the city only paid for the resources used during the emergency.
