CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL) deployment, Prism Economics and Analysis faced a growing issue with its legacy tape-based backup system, which had become outdated and costly to maintain. The need for modernization was driven by increasing backup volumes and inefficient, time- consuming management processes. The existing setup strained the IT team’s resources and created risks for data availability. Additionally, the high operational costs associated with physical tapes, including storage and retrieval, were becoming unsustainable for the organization.

Prism Economics and Analysis required a solution that could streamline backup processes, reduce costs, and improve reliability.

StarWind is a great turnkey solution at a reasonable price. We got better performance and it’s easier to maintain.
