About Network Alliance
Learn how South African MSP Network Alliance standardized backup and disaster recovery with N-able Cove Data Protection, reducing backup administration by up to 70%, accelerating deployment from hours to minutes, and restoring more than 5TB of customer data within hours following a physical server theft. The case study shows how cloud-based backup and disaster recovery helped improve operational efficiency, business continuity, and cyber resilience.
Challenge
Network Alliance used a combination of traditional backup products, local repositories, and hardware-dependent platforms. This created multiple management consoles, inconsistent reporting, and growing administrative overhead. Traditional disaster recovery also required costly infrastructure, making comprehensive disaster recovery difficult for many customers to justify.
Results
Backup administration effort was reduced by approximately 50% to 70%, and deployment time dropped from hours to minutes. In a real-world recovery event, Network Alliance failed over more than 5TB of data within a few hours and restored full operations overnight. The centralized, multi-tenant approach also enabled the engineering team to manage more protected workloads without adding headcount.
