Neuron Computer Services achieves automated and reliable backups using StarWind Virtual Tape Library integrated with Backblaze B2

CHALLENGE

Before using StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL), Neuron Computer Services, LLC backed up its data manually offsite with external hard drives in a Pelican case on a rotating basis. Such a solution did not provide complete protection against mechanical failure, in particular, against the loss of a drive due to shipping damage.

The company needed a cost-efficient solution that would allow getting rid of manual sneakernet backups, automating the backup process. As a possible solution, Neuron Computer Services, LLC used the Veeam Backup & Replication app, but it did not have cloud storage options.

We wanted a solution that could allow us to back up to cheap cloud storage and StarWind’s VTL is the perfect solution for this. StarWind will always be top-of-mind for us for future storage needs and solutions.
