Case Study: DRA Advisors

In today's rapidly advancing digital world, malicious code and other threats have become more prevalent and sophisticated than ever before.

No one is immune to viruses, trojans or keyloggers that can threaten the integrity and security of your company's data.

One Florida-based outsourced IT Services organization recently encountered a virus that locked all data, requiring the Company to scramble to obtain a backup of all its customers' data.

Thankfully, NetSpring Inc. has been a reseller of Storage Guardian solutions for over four years and therefore knew they could rely on Storage Guardian to restore a copy of the data quickly and easily.

"Our servers were hit by a malicious virus called CryptoLock; it encrypts your data and holds it for ransom until you pay. The only way to recover is to either break down and pay and hope they will release the files, or restore the data from backup," says David Aharoni, CEO of NetSpring.

"Luckily, we have a robust and reliable backup solution that saved us from a potentially very costly and embarrassing situation.

Storage Guardian immediately created a BLM image of roughly 30 GB for NetSpring, which they downloaded in blocks of 1 GB each from their web portal over the Internet, which got them back up and running at business as usual in approximately 8 hours.

Thanks to Storage Guardian and their quick response and support, we recovered all of the lost data and avoided any issues."
