Marlen International Switches to EVault Cloud DR Service

EVault, Inc., a Seagate Technology LLC company, announced that Marlen International
has replaced its tape-based backup system with EVault Cloud-Connected backup
and recovery services, including EVault Endpoint Protection and EVault Cloud DR
Service.

The Kansas-based food equipment manufacturing company wanted to establish
reliable offsite disaster protection, secure its mobile devices, and reduce
backup management and restore times. The result has been a 98% reduction
in backup data restore times and savings of 8.5 hours per week for the IT
department.

Marlen’s legacy tape-based backup system struggled to keep pace with
the company’s rapid data growth and increasingly mobile workforce. Backup and
recoveries were difficult to manage, time-consuming, and costly, and data in
remote sites and on laptops was not sufficiently protected. Marlen implemented
the EVault Cloud DR Service to expand recovery and backup to remote offices and
establish reliable offsite disaster protection.

"Other solutions either
required heavy, expensive, and complicated equipment or didn’t provide the
features, services and flexibility of EVault," said Travis Stoll, a
systems administrator at Marlen. "Marlen
now has a drastically improved comfort level that its data is safe, and we cut
our restore times from over three hours per week to just five minutes."

Another reason Marlen switched to EVault was to protect company data that lived outside the firewall on employees’ laptops and
mobile devices. To secure data from server to desktop to laptop, Stoll selected
EVault Endpoint Protection. As a result, desktops and laptops continuously backup to the cloud and the local hard drive, securing
valuable endpoint data without disrupting employees who are working
remotely.

"EVault Endpoint
Protection worked flawlessly after a company employee’s laptop was stolen,"
said Stoll. "It had been
consistently protecting our user’s data through the EVault cloud, and because
the laptop data was already locked, whoever took the computer couldn’t access
it. The owner of the laptop came in the next morning, and by noon, we were able
to give him a brand-new laptop and restore all of his data."

"The challenges that
Marlen faced are quite common with mid-market organizations; as companies grow,
data increases and the workforce becomes more mobile," said Terry
Cunningham, president and GM of EVault. "Our mission at EVault is to help customers like Marlen tackle issues of
scalability and business continuity head-on through a variety of products and
services that provide a reliable and comprehensive approach to backup and
recovery, no matter the situation."
