Company speeds operations and gains remote access to systems.
Based in France, AGEMA is a well-established company with over 30 years of experience in managing interior design and building for commercial spaces. The company partners across Europe with national and international brands, including Afflelou, Heytens and Action.
THE SOLUTION
AGEMA discovered Acronis and conducted a comparison with other solutions. The backup solution in the Acronis Cyber Protect platform met the company’s need for a more robust and efficient backup system.
THE IMPACT
- AGEMA gained the ability to perform backups and restore files far more rapidly and accurately than it previously could.
- Logs became available, providing better insight into backup processes.
- The solution offered accessibility from anywhere, improving operational flexibility.
KEY CHALLENGES
- International expansion led to a multiplication of sites and servers, resulting in a highly decentralized data storage environment.
- The company’s previous backup solution, Cobain Backup, which backed up to external hard drives, was slow and prone to error.
- Backup operations began to exceed the overnight hours designated for backing up data.
KEY REQUIREMENTS
- AGEMA needed a single, centralized and remotely accessible solution to manage data across multiple sites and servers.
- The company sought a solution that could overcome the slowness and frequent errors of the previous system.
- AGEMA required differential or incremental backup options to optimize backup times.
- The company needed a solution that could complete backups within reasonable timeframes.
Prior to moving to Acronis, AGEMA had accumulated vast amounts of data across various storage mediums, including floppy disks, CDs, hard drives and NAS devices.
