“With our previous product, two weeks of backups occupied
about 20TB. With StoreOnce, we can hold four weeks of
backups in 10 or 11TB. That’s 75 percent of storage
capacity savings.”

“Although we’d been backing up the servers
with Data Protector for many months, we were
still using the old backup product for all of our
workstations,” says Ragsdale. “One morning,
I was checking the PC backups and dealing
with the usual problems and I decided to try
backing a few of the machines up with Data
Protector. It worked fine, so we began moving
away from the old product completely.”
Next steps
Now that his group has nightly backups under
control, Kelley has started thinking about
next steps. His wish list includes evaluating
StoreOnce for use in disaster recovery and in
White River’s osite facility. He also envisions
adding another 3PAR and servers to have a
hot site.
Kelley reflects on the business value that
White River derives from Data Protector, 3PAR
and StoreOnce: “Our CIO now knows we feel
confident that our data is securely backed up.
We’ve had to restore from backup and we’re
comfortable with that part of the product
too. We go home and sleep better at night
knowing that we’ll go in to a successful Data
Protector backup the next morning.
“We were spending way too much time on
backups before. Now, we get an email once
a day, look at it and know things are running
smoothly. That’s how backup should be.”
