Recarta and Veeam – backing-up a perfect combination for eMag. Veeam Backup and Replication

Before eMag Solutions implemented Veeam Backup & Replication, the company’s email system was hosted and supported by British Telecom (BT). That arrangement worked well until eMag became heavily involved with forensic auditing firms, financial institutions, and regulatory bodies.

Most of the work eMag does for each client is confidential. For example, the company’s associates work with attorneys and auditors on legal cases, and they serve as expert witnesses during criminal proceedings.

Clients require 100 percent assurance that all IT functions, including email exchange, are secure and reliable. Since eMag didn’t have direct control over BT’s administration, backup, or recovery of its email system, eMag began to view this hosting situation as a business risk.

“That issue, coupled with the rising cost of the hosting package, was motivation to consider a new email paradigm,” explained Simon Parry, eDiscovery Consultant and Technology Manager for eMag Solutions. “Clearly, we needed to move email in-house and safeguard it with an enterprise-level data protection solution.”

Simon and his team turned to Recarta IT, one of the UK’s fastest growing IT solutions specialists, which recommended Veeam Backup & Replication for eMag Solutions.
