Sheffield Hallam University Cyber Resilient Backup Case Study

This case study details the collaboration between Sheffield Hallam University and MTI Technology to enhance the university's backup and recovery capabilities in response to an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape. The university sought to improve its existing backup platform, which lacked modern capabilities necessary for evolving security and operational requirements. The partnership aimed to strengthen cyber resilience, increase confidence in recovery processes, and enhance visibility across the backup environment. MTI Technology, selected for its technical expertise and collaborative approach, worked closely with university stakeholders to design and implement a modern backup and recovery platform using Dell Technologies and Veeam solutions. The project included a focus on knowledge transfer and operational enablement, ensuring long-term success and support. The outcome of this initiative has been the establishment of immutable backups, improved reporting, and a reduction in operational overhead, ultimately transforming the university's approach to data protection and ensuring ongoing support for future requirements.
