A Borough Council asked COOLSPIRiT for advice on backup targets for Veeam.

Having successfully worked with COOLSPIRiT in the past on successful projects, the team knew they could trust the advice given by the experts at COOLSPIRiT.

The Council had standardised on Veeam for the software element of their data protection strategy, and now was the time to ensure the backend infrastructure is capable of managing their projected data growth, efficiently, reliably and in scalable increments.

With the previous experience that members of the team at the Council have had with COOLSPIRiT, they knew our Experts would give honest, factual information to enable them to make the correct decision. Through various stages of discussions, meetings and design workshops it was decided that Quantum DXi technology would make a perfect choice to partner with their Veeam software.

Powered by Quantum 3.0 Software, the latest family of DXi deduplication solutions provide patented variable-length deduplication that not only reduces disk usage and capital expenditures, but also enables efficient data movement across the WAN to other sites and to the cloud, perfect for any Veeam user.

Upon researching the Council’s data protection requirements which included data type, size, retention and required restore procedure, it was concluded that a pair of Quantum DXi4701 appliances would be the correct choice. With NAS presentation, integration to Veeam is extremely straight forward and quick to setup, enabling a fast delivery to production project.

With a cost-effective incremental growth to 135TB and fast 10Gb connectivity per Quantum DXI4701 appliance, the Council are now confident they have the correct infrastructure in place to manage their growing data, for today and into the future…
