Legal Firm Selects Quorum Appliance for Disaster Recovery

This case study details the decision-making process of Palmieri, Tyler, Wiener, Wilhelm & Waldron LLP (PTWWW) in selecting a disaster recovery (DR) solution. The firm, based in Orange County, California, faced challenges when their existing data protection vendor announced they would cease operations. Bob Steele, the computer systems manager, outlines the need for a reliable backup and DR solution that fits within budget constraints. After evaluating various options, including a consulting group's solution and insights from a Gartner report, PTWWW determined that Quorum's onQ appliance was the most suitable choice. The case study highlights the advantages of using a single onQ appliance for both local backups and high availability (HA), which minimizes recovery time. It also discusses the limitations of multi-tenant solutions offered by other vendors, emphasizing the importance of having a dedicated appliance for effective DR testing and performance during outages. Ultimately, PTWWW's selection of Quorum provided them with confidence in their disaster recovery strategy.
