Michigan Banking Group Now Performs Individual File Restores in Two Minutes; Bare-Metal Server Restore in 15 Minutes
PARIS, August 24, 2006 Acronis EMEA
(www.acronis.com/es-mx/), the technological
leader in storage management software, today announced that Fentura
Financial Inc., a bank holding company with assets of $550 million,
has applied Acronis True Image as the primary data
recovery solution for its network of community banks. Acronis
True Image enables Fentura to restore workstations and servers
within minutes and has become Fentura's first line of defense
against costly downtime.
"In the banking industry, where data literally
translates into dollars and cents, we needed a solution that can
pick individual or specific files, rather than a whole tape's
worth, so that we can get up and running quickly in the event of a
disaster. Acronis does that and more, restoring us quickly, easily
and specifically to our needs," said Brian Minca, Fentura Financial
Inc.'s network services officer. "Acronis has already proved its
worth and exceeded our expectations by recovering a corrupted Web
server configuration file within two minutes. This is no easy task,
considering the specialized banking applications we use."
Fentura used Acronis True
Image Corporate Workstation and Acronis
True Image Enterprise Server with virtually no user training on
six workstations and 40 servers, which represent 100 percent of
file servers at the bank. Although Fentura still maintains and
stores offsite backup tapes for long-term disaster recovery,
immediate fixes are done with Acronis True Image. This enables
Fentura to reboot its servers and get back up and running within
seven minutes, and recover an entire server from a bare-metal
restore situation in 15 minutes, Minca said. "It's a much more
timely solution than waiting for a full tape restore and server
reboot in order to access critical information."
"Businesses such as Fentura Financial Inc. are
realizing that backing up their systems is just one step in being
prepared for a disaster," said Walter Scott, Acronis CEO. "In a
real disaster situation, quick recovery of business-critical data
is crucial, and Fentura has proven that Acronis True Image is an
enterprise-class solution that solves such problems quickly and
without incurring significant incremental costs, such as lost
transactions. In the banking business, time literally is
money."
