SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., May 31, 2005
Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage management
solutions, announced that the Desert Schools Federal Credit Union,
based in Phoenix, AZ, has standardized on Acronis True Image
Enterprise Server 8.0 for Windows, the latest version of Acronis'
award-winning disk imaging, disaster recovery
and bare-metal backup and restore utility, as its corporate
server disaster recovery solution.
Desert Schools, a not-for-profit cooperative, is
the state's largest credit union with more than $2 billion in
assets; 286,000 members in Gila, Maricopa and Pinal Counties; and
42 branch locations.
"Desert Schools was looking for a backup and
disaster recovery solution that did not require the full
reconfiguration of a server when it had to be restored," said Doug
Baer, the systems engineer of the financial institution. "We
require a lot of custom configuration for our servers and did not
want to rebuild a server from scratch after a failure. It could
take days to get the server up and running. With the Acronis
solution, we can provide high-quality service and ensure that our
data, and our members' personal and financial information, is safe
and secure."
The credit union added Acronis True Image
Enterprise Server 8.0 to its backup protocol after using Acronis
True Image for backing up desktop systems for more than a year. "By
creating an exact image of each of our 15 most mission-critical
servers, we can restore a damaged hard disk quickly or recover from
a virus or spyware attack and have the server back up and running
in minutes, not hours or days," added Baer "Acronis True Image
exceeded our expectations and has become our corporate standard for
backup and disaster recovery for servers and desktops."
"Desert Schools Federal Credit Union is
completely sold on Acronis True Image," added Doug Bauer, systems
engineer. "It has decreased downtime, as the product can restore a
server in minutes and eliminated the need to rebuild complex server
configurations from scratch. And because it is easy to use, far
more members of the IT staff are capable of restoring a down
server, giving us far greater staffing flexibility."
"Acronis enjoys a special relationship with
financial services companies worldwide," added Stephen Lawton,
Acronis director of marketing. "Be they credit unions, banks,
credit reporting agencies or insurance companies, these
institutions have special needs and Acronis is proud to provide the
highest quality disaster recovery solution that meets their
particular requirements."
Financial details of the agreement were not
released.
