Key Challenges

Before implementing Acronis True Image, Fentura Financial relied on a tape-based solution for backup and recovery. While this met the basic needs of backup and recovery, it was not working very well. As a financial institution, the bank was required to retain an ever-increasing amount of data, meaning thousands of tapes. Searching for the right tape to recover a specific file was often next to impossible and took countless hours. Furthermore, while the tape solution was adequate for data retention, it did not provide bare metal recovery to restore an entire system.

Product Evaluation

Acronis True Image was introduced to the IT Department from direct customer usage; the Network Services Officer in charge of looking for replacement solutions had used Acronis True Image at home. The solution worked so well, that he was willing to purchase it for the bank.

Restore Files to an Entire System in Minutes

Fentura Financial implemented Acronis True Image quickly and easily; no user training was required for the implementation. The bank is currently using Acronis True Image Corporate Workstation and Acronis True Image Enterprise Server. The server product is running on 40 servers, representing 100% of file servers at the bank. Backups are created daily to disk-based storage. Fentura Financial is completely satisfied with the solution; specific files or an entire system can be restored in minutes.
