Vision

Lafayette Utilities System wanted to strengthen its data protection and cyber resiliency to minimize disruption from natural disasters and outages, while proactively securing customer information and infrastructure data against cyber threats.

Solution

Lafayette Utilities System integrated Dell data protection portfolio – including PowerProtect Data Manager and PowerProtect Cyber Recovery – to prepare for and recover from any unforeseen threats by ensuring critical data remains safe and quickly recoverable.

Impact

Dell data protection portfolio allows Lafayette Utilities System to enhance cyber resiliency by delivering intelligent data protection that enables proactive threat protection from natural disasters and cyberattacks. Backup windows have been reduced from 20 hours to less than five, and exchange time from four hours to 20 minutes.

"By using PowerProtect Data Manager, we were able to reduce our exchange backups from 4 hours to 20 minutes and overall reduce our backup windows significantly."
