eNerds Success Story

Data protection has always been one of the core services eNerds™ has delivered for its SMB clients.

For years, eNerds™ was reliant on backing up clients’ vital business data to tape, but as data volumes increased, so did the time-frames for backup and restoration, and reliability was also an issue. As tape solutions grew unviable, the business made a strategic shift to block-level image backup.

With the emergence of cloud and an ever-greater expectation of business availability from customers, the eNerds™ team required a solution that could replicate and store backups offsite, delivering customers with shorter Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs). Cost was also a key driver.

The eNerds™ team needed reliable replication of customers’ onsite backups to a secure and local cloud repository, at a price-point their customers could afford.

Having seen an increasing amount of new clients already using or in the process of moving to Veeam, eNerds™ came to appreciate the solution for its ability to protect virtual environments and the strength of Probax’s Veeam Cloud Connect integration.

Using a combination of Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Archive as a Service (AaaS) solutions, eNerds™ were able to achieve Hyper-Availability for all virtual, physical and cloud-based workloads - all from a single management console - Probax Hive.

The ability of Probax to simplify cloud backups and consolidate a number of solutions into a single-pane-of-glass dashboard allowed eNerds™ to manage and administer backups, and self-provision Veeam licences, creating greater efficiencies of scale for the team.
