CASE STUDY
Coral Homes has experienced the benefits
of dealing with a single vendor that has
end-to-end data protection and recovery
solution set and support services. To enable
Coral Homes to achieve its Disaster Recovery
goals, it has deployed a suite of StorageCraft
solutions including ShadowProtect SPX,
Image Manager, Cloud Services Premium
and OneXafe.
The results
Coral Homes has experienced a number
of significant benefits since engaging with
StorageCraft. The OneXafe solution offered
it a seamless data platform which unified
data with scale-out storage in an easy-touse
format.
This was vital for a company like Coral
Homes as it has a great deal of company
data moving in and out of servers and
through its staff each day. The quick access
to multiple versions of data at all hours of
the day has been a crucial element to ensure
its customers receive the best service.
Coral Homes has witnessed so many
positives since implementing OneXafe, one
of the biggest being the peace of mind they
feel knowing their data is on-site and backed
up. Additionally, Coral Homes has another
OneXafe 4412 offsite replicating data that
can be accessed at any time.
Currently, Coral Homes uses 23 terabytes of
data storage which can easily be increased
in the future as required with the OneXafe
solution. It is keen to bring more client data
back to its office and store to the OneXafe
solution so it can maximize its investment.
Matt Kolkka, Senior IT Officer Coral Homes,
said: “A personal highlight for me would
be the StorageCraft customer service
experience, as it was one of the most
standout services we have ever experienced.
When we had any questions or queries, they
made it easy for us to reach out and their
support was exceptional from the start.
“The setup process was really easy. The MSP
and StorageCraft assisted with the setup
in a timely manner. The process really does
complement their one-size-fits-all solution.
“We had support, resources and personnel at
our disposal to help us with any challenges
that we faced.”
Kolkka compared the legacy system the
company had previously used with the
solution from StorageCraft.
“Previously having the data offsite, it felt as if
our data was held at ransom, the change of
having access in our office ensured we could
do what we needed, adding value to our
company,” he said.
