Case Study: Grey County achieves streamlined backups and rapid recovery with Zerto

County government reimagines recovery and backup, streamlines processes with Microsoft Azure and Zerto

Grey County, a Canadian local government serving more than 96,000 residents with about 900 employees, needed a safe, reliable and affordable way to back up data and recover quickly across services ranging from road maintenance to ambulances and long‑term care. The county faced tight resources and required a solution that met demanding compliance and performance needs without heavy ongoing maintenance.

The county adopted a hybrid architecture that extended on‑premises servers into Microsoft Azure and deployed Zerto for continuous data protection and disaster recovery. This approach streamlined backup and recovery operations—reducing maintenance staffing from 13 full‑time roles to one—while providing real‑time reporting, budget optimization and greater operational confidence.
