Xpert Consultancy cuts high IT operational expenses by replacing its costly physical backup hardware with StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

CHALLENGE

Before implementing StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL), Xpert Consultancy used Firestreamer software from Cristalink, which couldn’t fully eliminate the need for expensive physical tape hardware. Moreover, the existing solution was incompatible with the latest ver Data Protection Manager (DPM), putting the safety and integrity of the company’s critical data at risk. The inefficiencies in the backup process raised concerns about data security and reliability. Additionally, Xpert Consultancy required 24/7 professional support to manage virtual tape backup operations smoothly.

The company needed a cost-effective solution compatible with a Microsoft backup system.

StarWind VTL assisted to remove the expensive physical tape hardware platform and to make use of the existing storagesion of Microsoft System Center infrastructure.
