Summary
This case study details the disaster recovery challenges faced by Campbell Hall, a prep school in California, and their subsequent solution using Quorum technology. The document outlines the inadequacies of their previous disaster recovery plan, which relied on Symantec Backup Exec and offsite tape storage, leading to potentially lengthy downtimes after disasters. The associate director of technology, Alex Roberts, highlights the need for a more efficient recovery method due to the critical operations dependent on their systems. After exploring various options, including colocation and HP StorageWorks, Campbell Hall found Quorum's solution, which allows for virtual recovery nodes that can restore operations within minutes. The case study emphasizes the significant reduction in downtime from a week to mere minutes and the financial savings associated with this improvement, estimated at over $100,000. Overall, the document presents a clear picture of how Quorum's technology has enhanced Campbell Hall's disaster recovery capabilities.
