BURLINGTON, Mass., January 29,
2008 - Stargate Digital, an Emmy Award-winning visual
effects company, has standardized on disk imaging backup and
recovery software from Acronis SAS (www.acronis.com/es-mx/) as part of a comprehensive
disaster recovery plan.
Due to the extensive amount of custom software
running everywhere on its network, Stargate Digital needed a way to
restore to a completely configured system easily and reliably and
to migrate systems between Windows and Linux. With Acronis True
Image Enterprise Server 9.1, Stargate Digital can quickly capture a
hardware image and, using the Acronis Universal Restore feature,
restore it to dissimilar hardware a fast and easy way to ensure
information is always available. The company's IT staff now has an
up-to-date "snapshot" of its systems at the ready for reliable
recovery should catastrophe strike while its crews are shooting
around the world.
"To produce exceptional visual effects on time
and on budget, our network must be up all of the time," said Dr.
Joseph Meier, CTO of Stargate Digital. "Hardware failover using
redundant and hot-standby systems are only part of the equation; a
truly reliable software recovery system is equally important.
Acronis exceeded our expectations with its performance and ease of
use."
The Stargate IT staff uses Acronis software to
make differential snapshots of the OS, which allows them to easily
undo the effects of deploying faulty software. They have also been
able to get double duty from some of their render drones and can
switch OSes and applications between Linux and Microsoft Windows in
less than 6 minutes.
Meier continued, "Our IT department looked at a
variety of well-known backup and recovery solutions, and Acronis
emerged as the clear winner. After looking at the entire product
line, we were won over by the software's ease of use, reliability
and its features. Particularly Universal Restore and how fast this
software can move a configured system to totally disparate
hardware."
"Acronis True Image plays a vital role in
Stargate's IT infrastructure," said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis.
"Our software works seamlessly and unobtrusively with their systems
so that their creative artists can focus on what they do best -
delivering awarding winning visual effects to clients
worldwide."
