Enterprise Backup or Datto BDR? For Mirazon and CLARCOR, the answer is “YES”

Technology Category	Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Backup & Recovery Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud Storage Services
Applicable Functions	Business Operation Maintenance
Use Cases	Remote Asset Management
Services	System Integration
Challenge	After experiencing substantial growth, primarily due to the acquisition of several other manufacturing plants, CLARCOR needed to consolidate multiple scattered data centers down to two: the primary at corporate headquarters and the secondary in Kentucky as a disaster recovery site. Mirazon recommended an enterprise backup software solution for these two sites to be jointly managed between CLARCOR’s internal IT and Mirazon engineers. However, CLARCOR also has nearly a dozen remote facilities with isolated servers and no local IT staff support. Additionally, the network bandwidth and costs made backing those servers up to the enterprise software solution unfeasible. Read More
About Customer	CLARCOR is a $3.37 billion industrial filter manufacturer that operates across 20 countries with over 100 facilities and 6,000 employees. The company has experienced substantial growth, primarily through the acquisition of several other manufacturing plants. CLARCOR relies on Datto partner Mirazon for consulting and assistance to keep its complex technology systems running smoothly. Mirazon is an IT consulting and managed services firm based in Louisville, Kentucky, with a staff comprising architects, engineers, and project managers certified in a wide array of technologies. Mirazon serves organizations both large and small, offering fully managed outsourced IT services for smaller organizations and consulting services that complement in-house IT teams at larger companies.

Solution	For CLARCOR’s backup and disaster recovery needs, the Mirazon team recommended a combined solution of enterprise backup software and Datto SIRIS appliances. The enterprise backup software was deployed at the two main data centers, while Datto SIRIS devices were chosen for nearly a dozen remote facilities. The Datto SIRIS devices became the corporate standard for all of CLARCOR’s remote offices. The Datto SIRIS devices offer a wide range of sizes, accommodating small environments like CLARCOR’s remote sites and larger facilities with up to 20 TB of data. The devices provide a predictable, flat cost for protection, automated replication to the Datto cloud, and disaster recovery testing services. The web-based multi-tenant management portal allows for instant VM spin-up from the most recent backup, ensuring minimal downtime. Read More Log in to view content
