Monarch Recruits Asigra and OnDemand Recovery for Cloud Backup
October 2011 by Marc Jacob
Asigra Inc. announced that Monarch Recruitment Ltd, one of the UK’s largest and most specialised recruitment agencies, is backing up multiple TB of data to partner OnDemand Recovery’s cloud, which is powered by Asigra. As a result Monarch now enjoys quicker backups, an enhanced level of business continuity and increased overall protection of its data including business-critical documents such as invoices, client details, timesheets and employment contracts.
Founded in 1992, Monarch Recruitment specialises in several areas, including IT, Digital Media, Education and Oil & Gas. Its previous backup strategy was based on a tape system, with restore times often taking in excess of 12-13 hours. Thanks to Asigra Cloud Backup, restore times have now been slashed by more than 80%, meaning less expensive downtime. By sending the backup into the cloud, data is stored safely offsite and is easily accessible from any of Monarch’s 13 locations. Even data from remote offices with no dedicated IT staff is now easy to reach and control remotely from any company branch. Other significant benefits of the new, agentless solution are ease of use and dramatically reduced administration costs.
Monarch Recruitment’s many applications, including SQL, File Server, Active Directory and HyperV, are all supported by Asigra Cloud Backup.
‘By adopting a cloud-based approach Monarch Recruitment has significantly streamlined and improved its data protection strategy, making it more efficient and secure,’ says Eran Farajun, Executive Vice President at Asigra. ‘When you rely on a cloud-based service, you also have the flexibility to instantly expand or shrink the amount of resources you use and pay for, making it extremely cost-effective and the ideal platform for future growth.
