Traditional Backup Solutions

Canadian-based Toromont CAT, a division of Toromont Industries, Ltd., is one of the world’s largest Caterpillar dealerships by revenue and geographic territory, and an industry-leading rental operation. The company’s need for storage has been growing significantly, between 50% to 70% annually.

Toromont CAT was using an ADIC tape library and Veritas Backup Exec in concert with a backup server to back up its data. The company had outgrown the backup system, which was beginning to cause a variety of problems, including slow backups and increasing the business risk associated with potential reliability issues.

Toromont CAT was looking to:

• Fix backup bottlenecks
• Install a backup environment that can accommodate the company’s continuing growth

To solve the problem, Toromont CAT chose:

• HP StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Library (EML) 103e E-Series Tape Libraries
• HP ProLiant DL580 as backup server

With the new HP Storage-Works backup infrastructure in place, Toromont CAT has been able to:

• Improve disaster recovery
• Handle increasing amounts of backup data
• Manage backups far more easily
