挑战
Machinima, a digital content company, faced the challenge of ensuring data protection during its transition from Google Apps to Office 365. The company had to maintain continuous operations without downtime, given its large network of influencers and substantial viewer base. The Director of IT, Ed Becker, was responsible for cleaning up the network infrastructure and migrating to Office 365. He needed a reliable backup solution to safeguard SaaS data, as traditional on-premise backup methods were labor-intensive and costly. Becker's experience with Backupify for Google Apps influenced his decision to continue using it during the migration to Office 365. He recognized the importance of having a robust backup system to protect against user errors or data corruption.
关于客户
Machinima is a California-based digital content company that reaches over 150 million viewers each month. The company operates a vast network of influencers, making uninterrupted service crucial. When Ed Becker joined Machinima as the Director of IT in 2014, he was tasked with improving the network infrastructure and overseeing the migration to Office 365. Machinima had been using Backupify for Google Apps, and Becker's positive experience with the tool influenced his decision to continue using it during the transition. The company needed a reliable backup solution to protect its SaaS data and ensure seamless operations.
解决方案
To address the data protection needs during the transition from Google Apps to Office 365, Machinima continued using Backupify, a cloud-to-cloud backup tool. Ed Becker, the Director of IT, had prior positive experiences with Backupify for Google Apps, which influenced his decision to keep the solution in place. Backupify provided automated daily backups for both OneDrive and SharePoint, ensuring comprehensive data protection. Additionally, Google Vault was used for eDiscovery, allowing the team to locate data within the system efficiently. Together, Backupify and Google Vault offered a robust solution for data accessibility and recoverability. Becker emphasized the benefits of cloud backup, including cost savings, resource optimization, and peace of mind. The seamless integration and user-friendly interface of Backupify made it easy to restore email accounts and access granular data when needed. As the migration progressed, Machinima reduced the number of Google Apps accounts while keeping Backupify as a safeguard. The company planned to leverage Backupify for Office 365 to protect more than just mailboxes, ensuring comprehensive data protection across the organization.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
