This case study details the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) deployment of Nexsan's Assureon secure archive storage solution. The primary objective was to optimize backups, safeguard high-value data, and reduce storage costs. CPUC faced challenges with its legacy data system, which had become inefficient due to diverse user storage needs and a lack of an official data retention policy. The Assureon solution automates archiving and deduplication processes, ensuring data integrity and management of long-term file retention. Since its implementation, CPUC has reported significant improvements, including a reduction in daily backup storage requirements by 5-6TB and an eight-hour decrease in backup completion time. This efficiency has enabled the agency to better allocate resources and support upcoming legislative projects without additional storage costs. The case study highlights the successful integration of the Assureon system into CPUC's infrastructure, showcasing its impact on operational efficiency and cost savings.
