Whorton Insurance Reduces Staff Time for Data Protection by 83% With Solutions From Dell and Symantec | 2009-10-01 | Dell |
| At Whorton Insurance Services, managing data protection was consuming most of the company's operations manager's nights and weekends. Even after Whorton virtualized most of its servers and began backing up to disk, problems persisted. Verifying backups was a challenge. Through-host backups of virtual machines sometimes stretched into the morning, slowing network performance. To ease the burden on its operations manager and avoid adding IT staff resources, Whorton purchased a Dell PowerVault DL2000 powered by Symantec integrated data protection appliance. Backups are now automated, and virtual machines and Microsoft application data are continuously protected with granular recovery technology. Virtual machine backups are now performed off-host, with low or no performance impact.
