i365, Inc., a Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), today announced that
AmeriQuest Transportation Services, a leading provider of truck
fleet management services, has implemented i365’s EVault Backup and
Recovery Software solution to protect its business critical data in
case of disaster. AmeriQuest worked with long-time i365 partner
Contour Data Solutions, a premier provider of Strategic IT
Solutions and Data Management, to replace its outdated tape-based
backup and recovery system. The New Jersey-based company selected
EVault Software for its cost effectiveness and straightforward
implementation process
To manage the complexity of its operations, AmeriQuest maintains
servers and databases with core data that includes inventories,
transactions and customer data. The company sought to replace its
legacy tape-based data backup and recovery systems because they
were slow, costly, and prone to mechanical failures. They enlisted
the help of Contour Data Solutions to align their business needs
with the right technology. After working closely with AmeriQuest,
Contour Data recommended EVault Software as a data protection
solution that would preserve the company’s critical data and meet
their recovery objectives for data availability.
“We manage a variety of services for more than 700,000 vehicles
nationwide, and safeguarding our customers’ data is an important
part of that,” said Mike Rowbotham, IT Manager at AmeriQuest. “We
previously used tape backup systems and they just weren’t cutting
it. They were slow and prone to failure, and most of all, they were
difficult to use when we needed to recover data. We chose EVault
Software because we can use it with any hardware and because its
deduplication capabilities minimize bandwidth usage. Also, its
quick implementation time got us up and running within one day.
EVault Software now does the backup and recovery heavy
lifting.”
Using i365’s EVault Software, AmeriQuest, deployed four vaults
across its four locations that serve as two sets of on-site and
off-site repositories for redundancy and disaster recovery. Each
location backs up its servers both locally and to the secondary
location for disaster recovery protection. With EVault Software,
AmeriQuest’s backups take 80-percent less time than they did with
the previous solution, giving the company the ability to easily fit
backups within its 9 PM to 6 AM backup window. Additionally, it now
takes 20 minutes to back up a day’s worth of data, whereas
previously it would have taken an entire day.
According to an independent Forrester Research, Inc. report,
"Consolidated Backup Strategies For Remote Sites," published
October 30, 2009, “Remote sites represent operational, financial,
and business risk. A poor or nonexistent backup strategy affects
revenue and employee productivity, and transporting unencrypted
tapes off site is a legal and public relations nightmare just
waiting to happen. Sooner or later, someone in the office will lose
track of several backup tapes, and someone will find out about it.
For this reason, most companies are opting to centralize remote
site backup."
“AmeriQuest is a great example of why companies are moving from
tape-based to disk-based backup and recovery in order to centralize
and protect all of their office sites,” said George Hoenig, vice
president, product operations, i365. “In addition to reducing the
inherent risks of using tape backup across multiple sites,
disk-based solutions, such as EVault Software, also significantly
improve backup and recovery management while minimizing the
secondary storage footprint with data deduplication. Companies such
as AmeriQuest trust EVault Software because they can minimize those
storage needs and know that customer information, billing, email
and other data is always secure and recoverable.”
