Case Closed: Wyoming Court System Moves to EVault for First-Class Data Protection

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

At EVault, we have customers from myriad verticals and business sectors, ranging from law firms, credit unions, to entire school districts, just to name a few. After all, every company has a keen interest in storing and protecting their data. One unique vertical that has extremely complex and sensitive data requiring the most reliable and secure protection out there are local, state and federal court systems.

The Wyoming Judicial Court System came to us with a problem we see all too often – an antiquated backup system that required far too much time to manage and could easily result in the loss of data, especially as their needs continue to grow.  So the court system said goodbye to its old remote backup systems and adopted EVault backup and recovery services to protect its vital courtroom information. Since its implementation, the court system has seen backup times reduced by over 80 percent with a drastic increase in its data protection statewide.

The Wyoming court system has 120 virtual and physical servers across the state and admitted its old solution was too complex and costly to meet its demanding needs. “Using EVault Software and EVault System Restore the court system has dropped its nightly backup window from a whopping four-to-six hours down to just 45 minutes,” said network manager Sergio Gonzales.

While private businesses tend to adopt cloud-connected backup and recovery services more quickly, it’s a positive sign that more government institutions are making the shift to more technologically secure and practical backup and recovery systems. We are excited to work with the Wyoming courts to make sure that their data protection needs are met, and that the judicial business of Wyoming can continue come snow or shine!  In the coming weeks, we’ll have more news about another partnership with a public institution – an entire school district.
