Ability to restore lost files instantly

Downtime now a thing of the past

Ability to restore lost files instantly makes downtime a thing of the past
Having access to all data at any time is vital to a prestigious school, whose ex-pupils include Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes.Paul said: “On occasions users have accidentally deleted files. Recalling them with Redstor was very straightforward, though. Restores are typically completed within five minutes of being reported to our service desk.”

By streaming data for instant access from any location, Redstor’s InstantData has made downtime a thing of the past for Stonyhurst College.

What is your most important consideration when choosing an archiving solution?

Freeing up capacity and sweating existing assets
Avoiding archiving on unreliable tape
Minimising management overheads
Eliminating delays in accessing archived data

Extra resilience for full system recovery
Stonyhurst College’s data is stored in a virtualised environment with a failover disaster recovery site which directly replicates the production environment. Redstor allows organisations to recover physical, virtual or cloud-hosted machines to VMware or Hyper-V in just a few clicks – or to migrate them between hypervisors.

Whilst we have a DR site in place and ways of restoring VMs, Redstor is there for a worst-case scenario. The resilience Redstor brings is not something that we’d be able to easily replicate on premises at a price point we could afford.
