Follow on Google News | After A Huge Storm, A Starbucks Preferred Food Provider Switches To VMware EnironmentAppAssure Software Protects Diana's Bakery entire IT operation for VMware backup and Exchange backup
By: AppAssure The move to AppAssure was triggered after a storm wiped out critical servers. As the bakery began the arduous task of rebuilding its key infrastructure, it found that recoveries were taking much longer than expected, and some were unsuccessful. For instance it took more than 36 hours to recover an Exchange Server, only to find that the backup data was corrupt. That’s all changed with the installation of AppAssure software. “With AppAssure now protecting the servers, Diana’s can recover a backup as a virtual standby machine in under 10 minutes and fully restore an entire system in under an hour,” said Chris Brescia, Diana’s Bakery IT Manager. Brescia commented further on three areas where the bakery has seen improvements in recoveries, storage savings and management: • Virtual Standby for Testing and DR: “Since we are a major provider to Starbucks, we can’t be down. Period. AppAssure’s virtual recovery capabilities make sure we’re not. AppAssure for VMware is just great because it keeps a virtual copy of our data so that we can just flip a switch if something goes wrong.” • Storage Space Savings: “Before AppAssure I couldn’t back up everything, there just wasn’t enough space. But now we’re backing up twice as many servers as before and using less than half the amount of storage space. • Backup Management: “AppAssure really gives true backup management to VMware. It takes backup and disaster recovery to the next level.” “Everything is quick and easy on this front now,” said Brescia. “Even when a huge, critical file with production history on it got corrupted I just went in, found the last good snap copy of the file and restored it, all in under 5 minutes.” About Diana’s Bakery Started in 1975 as a retail bakery by the Macari Family in Enfield, Connecticut, Diana’s Bakery has grown to include a wholesale division delivering over three hundred different fresh and fresh/frozen baked products, including artisan breads, danish, donuts and a variety of cakes to such well-known providers as Starbucks, Stop & Shop, Aramark, Sodexho, and others.
