AC Controls Company Case Study on Backup Solutions

This case study details the experience of AC Controls Company in selecting a backup and recovery solution. The company, which specializes in industrial control valves and systems integration services, previously utilized Unitrends R-813 for data protection. However, they faced challenges due to limited in-appliance resources and a lack of confidence in the solution's reliability. After evaluating alternatives, AC Controls chose Quorum for its robust feature set and competitive pricing. The implementation of Quorum's solution significantly improved their backup and recovery processes, allowing for in-appliance testing and off-site storage of backups in the cloud. The case study highlights the positive outcomes, including enhanced confidence in disaster recovery capabilities and the ability to efficiently manage recovery nodes. Kevin Staley, the MIS Administrator, notes the importance of features such as in-appliance testing and cloud storage, which have alleviated the burden of managing IT continuity for the small business.
