Challenges

“We require the need to perform on the hour backups from our AS/400,” says John Trudeau, Marketing/IT Manager for Desert Valley Services, DBA Fulton Distributing.
 
“The new system must work with our NCR systems as well, and we require replication capabilities.”

Solution

“Since LaserVault is partnered with NCR, we went with UBD to replace our previous online provider, Data Storage Corporation,” adds John.

“In addition, Michael Jarvis at NCR was great to work with. He made the entire process smooth.”
