The choice of an HPE backup and recovery solution was an easy one
because HPE oered a seamlessly integrated hardware and software
solution that is simple to manage.
At its Jeerson City data center, the
information technology services division
of the Oice of State Courts Administrator
(OSCA) supports court technology and
communication services. Around 85
employees manage and maintain the critical
statewide case management system, along
with the wide variety of technology necessary
for the eicient day-to-day running of the
courts.
The court moves to a modern backup to
better protect its data
The division’s responsibilities include
protecting all court data and ensuring
operational continuity in the event of an
outage.
The relentless rise in data volumes were a
major concern and meant a longer backup
window, putting critical data at risk. The first
backups started at 9pm and the last ones
at 3am the next morning, meaning they
sometimes ran until 6pm that following night.
In the event of a failure, the division was
not able to get a restart completed before
the next backup set was scheduled to start,
leaving a day’s worth of data not protected
and at risk.
To shorten the backup window, the
division needed to move away from time-
consuming physical tape backups and legacy
architectures. A state-of-the-art disk-based
backup and recovery system would not
only increase performance and capacity, it
would also eliminate the maintenance costs
associated with the aging backup system.
Solution
Moving away from old architectures
Working with HPE, Missouri State Courts
optimized and modernized its entire
backup environment by upgrading to the
latest version of HPE Data Protector. The
HPE solution provides the court with a
comprehensive and resilient backup solution
that delivers a highly eicient and high
performing backup, while oering reliable
disaster recovery and rapid file restore.
The court had outgrown its previous HPE
system and so, happy with this previous
system, it turned to the modern HPE
StoreOnce Backup system. Wanting to move
away from physical tapes, the HPE StoreOnce
Backup system provided the perfect solution:
it employed data storage virtualization
technology to present hard disk storage as a
tape library or tape drives.
