Case Study: Backup & Archive with AWS

Case Study: Backup & Archive with AWS

Case Study, Cloud

Scalable, cost effective file sharing and data archiving.

Company:

Partners:

Challenge:

Mygrant Glass required a scalable, cost-effective file sharing and data archiving solution to meet their needs as they continue to grow. As their customer base increased across the US, their NFS file shares were running out of space and the costs to add more storage were increasing. The client also needed to upgrade their backup strategy while lowering their backup costs. Their tape backups were becoming unmanageable and too expensive to store offsite.

Solution:

By carefully evaluating the client’s current backup and archiving strategies and performing costs analysis, Sycomp proposed replacing NFS File shares with Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) and Amazon S3 Glacier for backup and archiving. The client engaged Sycomp’s professional services to architect, design, and deploy all the resources needed to implement Amazon EFS allowing the client’s IT team to focus on their daily tasks with minimal disruption.Sycomp also implemented automation to ensure the backups of data to Glacier would happen on a recurring schedule.

Benefits & Results:

Replacing their NFS file share with Amazon EFS provided the client with the amount of storage they need, the instant they need it. Backing up their data on Amazon EFS with S3 Glacier reduced their costs of storing archived data when compared to storing tape backups offsite.

Save an estimate of 20% on NFS costs and archived data storage
With EFS pay per use model, costs are predictable as they scale

Case Study: Endpoint Backup with AWS

Case Study, Cloud

Easy, cost-effective endpoint backup solution.

Partners:

Challenge:

Ouster was looking to find an economic solution for backing up their productivity and collaborative cloud applications. As a growing company with over 200 employees, the need for a dependable endpoint backup solution increased. With hundreds of endpoint devices, this exposed a high risk and high probability for data loss.

Solution:

The customer wanted a backup solution that was cost effective, easy to manage, and well-integrated with their current set of cloud applications. After careful evaluation and review of current cloud environment, Sycomp proposed Druva inSync paired with Amazon S3 as the backup solution for their cloud applications. Already built on AWS and compatible with G Suite among other cloud applications, Druva inSync fulfills both Endpoint Data Protection and Cloud Application Backup and Archival needs for the client. With Druva inSync the client is able to backup and store all the company’s endpoint data securely and cost-effectively to Amazon S3.

The client engaged Sycomp’s professional services team to design, architect, and implement the solution saving the client’s technical staff valuable time.

Benefits & Results:

High performance backup, remote wipe and geo-location of laptops and smart devices
Protection and governance for G Suite and collaborative cloud applications
No hardware implementation – moved from CAPEX to OPEX model
Reliable and secure cloud application backup for invaluable endpoint data
