Master Lock Makes Switch to Cloud Backup and Recovery for More Efficient and Effective Data Protection Management
software provider, today announced that Master Lock, a
Company
padlocks, has chosen Terian Solutions' Cloud Backup? and Recovery
services to replace legacy tape backup throughout the enterprise. Master
Lock made the move to cloud backup services in order to free IT personnel
from the overwhelming amount of time, complexity, and unreliability of
tape-based backup.
Over the years, Master Lock's IT responsibilities have grown considerably
while the number of staff members has remained relatively unchanged. "Since
2006, we've added more than 80 servers and 600 users to our systems,
increasing the strain on our technology resources," said
Director of Systems Infrastructure and Operations for Master Lock. "With
every server we added, the complexity grew, and suddenly it was clear that
our backup model was not a fit for our organization. The process of
protecting a growing number of diverse systems was becoming so complex and
unreliable that a fundamental change in the way we managed backup and
recovery became a mandate."
Master Lock's previous approach to backup consisted of several tape
autoloaders and servers outfitted with internal, stand-alone tape drives in
order to serve overseas locations with short backup windows. As Master Lock
continued to grow, this system became less and less workable as the data
load required multiple tapes per server and after-hours monitoring to
change out tapes and ensure that backup processes completed successfully.
Master Lock realized it was time to look toward a service-oriented solution
that eliminated this tape management headache. In its review of alternative
backup options, the company recognized the value of partnering with a
backup and recovery service specialist that would free it from the
overwhelming amounts of time required to manage data protection in-house.
"Our previous agent-based backup software was notorious for impacting
business productivity because of its inability to perform hot backups on
important enterprise applications. In one case, a number of important
database servers had to be taken offline for proper backup, bringing
important company operations to a standstill. With the new cloud backup
system, all of our application backups are hot and we can now run our
servers 24x7 without interruption. This is a huge benefit for a company
with offices throughout the world and has improved the efficiency of our IT
department," Jondahl said.
Terian Solutions' full-service backup and recovery offering using the
Asigra Cloud Backup platform enables companies like Master Lock to reduce
IT resources while improving data protection and disaster preparedness. "We
act like a full-time outsourced employee. Each of our clients receives the
benefit of having a backup and recovery specialist on staff. We provide
backup administrative services on a daily basis as well as guidance and
planning for future projects. Our unlimited phone support keeps us in touch
with our customers and makes us a part of their team," said
President of Terian Solutions.
Master Lock joins thousands of companies of every size who are making the
switch to cloud backup managed by backup and recovery specialists like
Terian Solutions. The partnership between Terian and Asigra results in the
ability to reliably recover much more effectively and efficiently than with
tape, saving organizations valuable staff time and IT resources.
"This is a classic case of how backup redesign can help organizations
regain control of their backup environment by eliminating the time
requirements and complexity of legacy backup solutions," said
Executive Vice President for Asigra. "Even large multi-national
organizations that have been tangled up in tape backup for years appreciate
the simplicity, security and recovery assurance that true business-class
cloud backup brings."
