Challenge	The Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia was facing challenges with their outdated tape backup system. The system was not only burdensome but also cost-prohibitive as the data grew. The tapes were stored at an off-site location, which meant that the data was sometimes sitting there for weeks at a time. The tape backup system also had limited space, which meant that the team had to continually purchase additional tapes as their data grew. The team realized that they needed to be more proactive with their backups and started looking at several cloud backup vendors. Read More
About Customer	The Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia (the Gas Authority) is the largest nonprofit natural gas joint action agency in the United States. It serves 79 Members in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee who meet the gas needs of more than 245,000 customers. The Gas Authority is dedicated to safely and reliably delivering an economical supply of gas every day. In addition, the team is dedicated to growing natural gas sales through various markets. As the Gas Authority grows, it has been creating larger and larger amounts of data. Read More
Solution	The Gas Authority chose 11:11's Secure Cloud Backup integrated with Veeam Cloud Connect technology. This solution offers an easy and cost-effective cloud solution for offsite backup and archiving needs. With direct integration and 100 percent compatibility with Veeam’s industry-leading Backup & Replication software, the Gas Authority found an easy fix for their backup needs. They worked with the 11:11 technical team to create a secure cloud backup solution. The solution provided encrypted backups, which was something that the tape backup solution was not able to provide. In addition, the scalability of the 11:11 solution allows the Gas Authority to increase their data storage capacity with a simple phone call or through 11:11 Secure Cloud Console— rather than purchasing more expensive physical tapes.
