Florida Business Takes DRaaS-tic Action With iomart to Storm-proof Its Data
FLORIDA, USA, October 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
The Importance of Disaster Recovery Planning in Hurricane Season Â
A legal firm in Florida has turned to the U.S. arm of cloud computing company iomart
(AIM: IOM) to protect its business critical data in the event of extreme weather events

The organization had its data stored on-site in a non-redundant, flood-zoned office in
the Orlando area but wanted to create a reliable cloud backup and Disaster Recovery as a
Service (DraaS) plan in advance of this year's hurricane season.
30TB of data was backed up using an EMC Avamar M2400 and stored on an EMC DataDomain
2500 before being shipped to iomart's data center in Virginia where it was replicated to a
multi-tenant environment for true DR. iomart has a fully managed, high availability VMware
environment running alongside the backup environment, which allows customers the option to
carry out fast restores to iomart's IaaS platform in the event of a DR scenario.
Marc Kelly, VP Sales, iomart Inc., explains, "Due to the urgency and the high volume
and type of data, we took a hybrid approach for backup and DR with real-time backup. While
we replicated their daily short term data from the last week over the Internet, everything
else was backed up onsite and then uplifted, shipped and seeded successfully to our
facility in Virginia before the storm hit."
With data centers [http://www.iomart.com/about-iomart/global-data-centres ] Â at six
locations across the U.S., Backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service from iomart can give
you peace-of-mind for your data.
