About The Customer
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.
The Challenge
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.
The Solution
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.
