Redstor were involved in discussions from the start with Generali. Although they had been utilising general disk-to-disk backup for over five years to protect up to a year's worth of data, when the financial services organisation implemented a virtualised server environment demands on its storage resources increased considerably. Generali could no longer protect even three months of backups on its existing disk-to-disk backup and the IT team was forced to reallocate a large amount of its primary storage – a costly solution for extended retention of backup data.

With the help of Redstor and our consultative approach, Generali moved ahead quickly with a deduplication solution from EMC Data Domain.
Following the guidance from Redstor, the organisation has already experienced considerable cost and administration time savings. It has recaptured SAN storage space, and the team now spends 50% less time managing its virtual infrastructure. Backups are now a lot faster, significantly reducing the backup window. Network-efficient replication of virtual servers to the DR site has minimal impact on the organisation's network bandwidth, and was implemented without having to budget for a larger WAN link.
