Operational Impact
The RecoveryCenter solution saves many hours of administration each week for clients, enabling them to focus their skilled technical resources on core activities that add value to their business. It gives clients the confidence that their vital data is protected against loss: reliably, conveniently, and at low cost per GB. They no longer need to think about backup; CenterGrid takes that whole headache away. They can also see that the recovery works, and of course, that’s what they’re really buying. The RecoveryCenter option provides extremely competitive pricing both against less-reliable consumer cloud options and against the on-premises, owned solution model. CenterGrid enjoys massive economies of scale that allow it to provide highly skilled support when and where it’s needed, allowing its clients to focus on their business and not on the systems that their business runs on. | |
Quantitative Benefit
CenterGrid is currently storing almost one PB of client data, with a typical client backup size of 15 TB. | |
The hybrid cloud approach with differential and incremental backups from Spectrum Protect minimizes the external bandwidth required. | |
One client was able to recover from the CryptoLocker malware in just 90 minutes thanks to the onsite backup. | |
