Sioux Falls School District Increases Backup and Recovery Savings by Replacing Tape Backup with EVault

Business Wire
EVault, Inc., a Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), today announced
that the South Dakota Sioux Falls School District replaced its tape
backup system with EVault Plug-n-Protect backup and recovery
appliances. Using EVault has made restores faster and more
predictable, and the school district’s IT staff has regained 10
hours of time per week due to reduced travel time between
individual schools to change out tape cartridges or fix and replace
tape drives. EVault worked with partner High Plains Technology to
implement the new system.
The Sioux Falls School District, the state’s largest K-12
district, maintains a multi-platform network of about 100 servers
backing up 12TB of data across roughly 12,500 computers.
Previously, the school district relied on a hefty tape backup
solution with tape libraries in every school building. The tape
backup implementation required expensive and time-consuming
software licenses, and the restores were difficult to
administer.
“Those tape libraries took a lot of hard work to manage,” said
David Carson, network manager at Sioux Falls School District. “If
the staff member who usually changed the tapes got sick, we had to
send someone else to do it, and then that staff member couldn’t get
his usual work done. With EVault’s Plug-n-Protect solution, we now
have an affordable all-in-one disk-based appliance. With restores
centralized, there’s no more need for our staff to travel from
school to school—freeing up valuable IT hours for more strategic
work.”
EVault provided the Sioux Falls School District with an
affordable backup and recovery solution delivered through the
EVault Plug-n-Protect appliance bundle. The school district now
configures backups and manages restores at its Central Services
building using the Web-based EVault CentralControl console, then
replicates data to a secondary appliance at its Instructional
Planning Services building for additional data protection and
security.
“The Sioux Falls School District is a perfect example of how
small and medium institutions can benefit from moving to a
disk-based, all-in-one backup system,” said Terry Cunningham,
president and general manager at EVault. “By breaking away from
costly, ineffective tape backups and adopting an adaptable and
affordable solution like EVault Plug-n-Protect, institutions like
the Sioux Falls School District quickly see the time and savings
value provided by a comprehensive appliance that packages all
backup components into a single solution.”
