Quality Leader in the Direct Mail Industry Benefits from BakBone’s Scalable and Reliable Data Protection
BakBone Software (Pink Sheets:BKBO), a global provider of heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, today announced that Money Mailer protects over 120 terabytes of data across 300 franchises with BakBone solutions. Money Mailer is the number one advertising services franchise for the third consecutive year, according to Entrepreneur Magazine. Money Mailer relies on NetVault®: Backup Application Plugin ModuleTM (APM) for SQL Server and NetVault: Backup APM for Exchange to safeguard their business-critical data. Money Mailer uses Microsoft SQL Server for financial reporting and many day-to-day operations systems, and the network operations team supports a massive Microsoft Exchange installation. As Money Mailer continued to grow at a rapid pace, adding over 60 franchisees annually, technology requirements tripled over a three-year period.
“Art is king at Money Mailer and we handle thousands of PDF files daily,” said Frank Migliaccio, director of network operations at Money Mailer. “Increasingly, our franchisees depend on our ability to reproduce those files quickly if something happens on their end and an image is damaged or lost.”
Money Mailer runs BakBone’s flagship data protection solution, NetVault: Backup, with NetVault: Backup APM for Exchange and NetVault: Backup APM for SQL Server. Performance has been flawless, enabling Money Mailer to reap immediate benefits. In particular, BakBone’s ease-of-use garners high marks at Money Mailer for its simple, graphical user interface, policy automation and cadre of reporting tools that substantially streamline daily management of backup and recovery operations. “Performing backups is almost a ‘set and forget’ process now,” added Migliaccio. “Previously, we spent an average of 20 man-hours each week managing our prior solution. With BakBone, it takes less than an hour each week to review daily reports of the previous night’s backup, which rarely require intervention.” With BakBone’s solutions in place, Money Mailer no longer experiences problems backing up and recovering Microsoft Exchange data.
“BakBone uniquely addresses the data protection demands of its customers and is dedicated to supporting Microsoft applications, in addition to providing leading data protection technology for Linux and Solaris environments,” said Jeff Drescher, vice president of marketing at BakBone. “Money Mailer needed a backup solution that could keep pace with its growing business and its mission-critical Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange servers. BakBone’s solutions are simple to install, require little training time and provide Money Mailer with data protection, disaster recovery and business continuity.”
With more than 300 franchises in 33 states throughout North America, Money Mailer serves 195 categories of business, mails 189 million envelopes to 21.5 million homes and services more than 30,000 local, regional and national advertisers.
