Challenges

Retailer RC Willey had a robust backup solution including replication to an off-site data center, but it lacked sufficient infrastructure to restore fast and with confidence. Data restoration took too long, and there was no viable method in place to routinely test that the backups were good. The company also needed to know that backups would be safe from ransomware attacks increasingly common in the retail industry. Disruption to operations could put the company’s reputation and revenue at risk.
