Global Poverty-Fighting Nonprofit Looks to Q-Cloud Service for Data Protection

ACDI / VOCA用Quantum的Q-Cloud备份 - AS-Service（BAAS）和QuantumDXI®重复数据删除设备替换了旧的磁带备份解决方案。The result:The global nonprofit scored substantial savings in backup and recovery time as well as storage space, freeing its lean IT staff for more important projects.

Small Staff Overwhelmed with Backup Task

作为华盛顿，D.C.为全球贫困的基础非营利组织，ACDI / VOCA在世界各地拥有约200名员工和办事处。但是，IT团队的核心包括两个人：一个人来管理服务器和应用程序和网络工程师。因此，该组织需要一种可靠，快速，并且尽可能少的数据保护解决方案。由于数据需求增长超过280TB，因此不会发生旧磁带系统。

“即使一切顺利，刚刚运行4.5TB文件服务器到磁带可能需要4-5天，”ACDI / Voca的企业系统工程师威廉奥蒙德说。“我们不得不花很多时间监控录像带系统的问题;我们不断调整我们的备份时间表，因为夜间备份将失败或遇到问题。“

ACDI / VOCA最初收购了Quantum DXI6700系列磁盘基设备，用于内部部署备份和重复数据删除，同时继续使用其磁带系统进行灾难恢复的存档和场外存储。但是，很快就清楚的是，本组织需要进一步解决现场储存的25,000美元的年度费用。

来自可信合作伙伴的基于云的备份

Quantum代表建议Q-Cloud，Quantum的备份和服务提供。实际上，Q-Cloud Baas将允许ACDI / VOCA具有与Quantum管理的第二个DXI设备复制相关的好处。

“Once we found out about Q-Cloud, it almost became a no-brainer for us,” explains Ormond. “We didn’t even need to consider a third-party service. We were confident that the combination of a Quantum device and a Quantum service would be the right solution.”

Benefits: Savings in Time and Headaches, Speedy Recovery

According to Ormond, the Q-Cloud solution has saved time and reduced headaches. For him, not worrying about the reliability of the backup environment or cost of tape has brought peace of mind.

“I don’t have to babysit the device any longer, or pay for someone to offsite tapes,” says Ormond. “Overall, this is a fairly maintenance-free solution; you set it and forget it.”

Ormond还指出，恢复速度改善几乎是戏剧性的。在最近的一个例子中，在几个Lotus Notes数据库中恢复数百兆字节的数据只需三分钟。旧环境将持续十倍。

Ormond’s experience with Q-Cloud and the DXi appliance has only reinforced his confidence in Quantum.

“I’ve been in the industry for more than 18 years,” Ormond says. “At nearly every job, we’ve relied on Quantum for our backup. Quantum in my mind is the proven and rock-solid backup solution.”
