Case Study: Rutgers University achieves reliable, cost-saving backups with Zmanda Pro

Rutgers University saves $10,000 with Zmanda

Rutgers University, a large public research institution, was facing a combination of hardware and software failures with its previous backup solutions. The university needed an affordable and reliable backup solution, especially after migrating to Isilon storage which lacked its own proprietary backup software. They turned to vendor Zmanda for a solution.

Zmanda implemented its Amanda Enterprise Backup Server with the MYSQL plugin. This provided a stable and comprehensive solution with flexibility for both on-premise and cloud storage. The results over the past decade have included tens of thousands of dollars in savings, immediate cost benefits, and a reliable backup system with nearly no crashes since 2010. Rutgers also praised Zmanda for its excellent support.
