Holmatro chooses EMC Avamar from Proact
Holmatro – global market leader in the supply of hydraulic resources for industry and rescue services – recently signed a three-year contract with Proact for the supply, implementation and support of a new backup environment.
Holmatro asked Proact to recommend a back-up environment for its national and international offices. This primarily involved renewal of the Dutch offices. Holmatro finally opted for a Proact back-up environment based on EMC Avamar.
Easy to administer, the new environment will not only permanently resolve the problems arising from the bottleneck between Holmatro’s data and back-up servers but also drastically reduce the back-up window. In future, it will also be possible to link up new data servers in China, the USA and UK seamlessly to the central environment in the Netherlands.
Erwin Binck, ICT Manager Holmatro, says, “Like many other large multinationals we have various international offices that we want to connect to a central back-up environment. Whilst traditional back-up software deduplicates data on the back-up server, the EMC Avamar solution does this on the servers, work stations and/or laptops themselves. Furthermore the software only backs-up the data that has changed. These two features result in far smaller quantities of data having to be backed-up daily. So there are no more problems with the connection and we can successfully secure offices abroad as well”.
Lucas den Os, Managing Director of Proact in the Netherlands, comments, “The EMC Avamar solution fits perfectly in Proact’s approach of providing best in-class innovative products and services. We are really proud that a global player such as Holmatro has chosen this back-up environment from Proact and hope to welcome many more Holmatro offices on board in future.”
Proact is providing a complete solution, including wholly owned, 24x7 support for hardware and software.
