Animal charity the Blue Cross had deployed two Adaptec Snap Server 210 network attached storage (NAS) devices, it has been revealed.
The organisation had been searching for a product which would provide the "most resilient and reliable backup and recovery solution" and cut the risk of data loss and the problems associated with it.
Wayne Morris, project implementation manager at the Blue Cross, said that the product also had to be a centrally-managed solution.
Following a two-month trial of the Snap Servers, the company purchased 12 Snap Server 210s each with 500GB capacity, a Snap Server 520 with 1TB capacity and multi-site licences for Adaptec's Snap Enterprise Data Replicator (EDR) software.
The Blue Cross deployed the Snap Server 520 at its headquarters and 11 Snap Server 210s at each of its regional offices to be used as local network backup devices.
Mr Morris said: "The central management capability of the Snap Storage Manager GUI was impressive. We're able to manage every device around the country, whether we're creating RAID volumes or setting new backup and replication requirements, all from one central location.
"In addition, the clear and concise reporting capabilities that come as standard have helped us make the most of our available storage resources."
