CHALLENGE

Building Backup Servers on a Limited Budget

Deploying reliable backup servers and storage poses significant hurdles for The National Center for the Rights of the Child with budget constraints, primarily due to substantial initial hardware/software costs and recurring operational expenses like maintenance and potential cloud fees. Meeting stringent security and compliance requirements essential for protecting sensitive child data further elevates costs and complexity. Furthermore, budget constraints often limit access to necessary technical expertise for setup and management, forcing difficult trade-offs between system scalability, performance, and affordability, ultimately challenging the Center’s ability to ensure robust data protection and disaster recovery without diverting funds from its core mission.

SOLUTION

Minimize Deployment Costs by Using File System's Virtual Machine

success-topology-ncrcs-smart-backup-enabled-by-vm

The backup solution for The National Center for the Rights of the Child utilizes a single XN series unit, which efficiently performs both the backup server and storage functions through the file system’s virtual machine running Linux OS, with client appliances installed on each server. During the initial deployment, this setup successfully backed up 3 servers. As the Center’s needs grew over time, additional backup licenses were acquired and implemented for each newly introduced server. This scalable approach has proven effective, and 5 years after the initial deployment, the system is now stably backing up 7 servers, ensuring data protection continuity.
