Moving from a tape-based storage environment last year to a disk-
based one has paid dividends for retirement village operator,
MetLifeCare. MetLifeCare had used several tape-based packages
over the previous 10 years, most recently Symantec Backup Exec.
“When licensing for that product was up for renewal last year, it
was a good opportunity to consider a new backup system," says
Kai Sander, IT Manager at MetLifeCare.
Implementation was made easier by the fact MetLifeCare was
using VMware and that StorageCraft and VMware are partners,
however, even if MetLifeCare hadn't been a VMware site, "it
wouldn't really have mattered - we would probably still have
chosen StorageCraft."
Under the new arrangement, data and key databases are backed
up every quarter of an hour - "and it's proven itself when people
have deleted files and we've got them back within 15 minutes.”
