Network World: Go-to storage and disaster recovery products
April 14, 2016
Enterprise storage, backup and disaster recovery products win over IT pros.
Drew Como credits his enterprise backup and recovery technology of choice – Veeam Availability Suite — with helping his company to recover from a disastrous third-party software upgrade.
“Once, we had a software vendor who assured us that an upgrade would be quick and easy, so we went ahead with it. In fact, it destroyed a key database,” says Como, who is senior manager of global datacenter platform services at Take-Two Interactive Software. “Everyone panicked, but I said, ‘Hey, I think Veeam’s got this.’ I crossed my fingers, did a restore, and in 15 minutes the entire database was back online.”
