The IT Situation

After a cumbersome and ineffective experience with an earlier provider, William Davis Homes decided to switch to Rubrik, to be managed via the ProtectView platform. Looking for effective storage, security and cloud backup solutions, William Davis Homes’ needs and requirements were twofold:

  • A local and cloud backup system for their data
  • Disaster recovery

After trialling other products, IT Manager, Paul and the team at William Davis Homes quickly discovered that Rubrik & ProtectView offered greater flexibility and a quicker recovery time than other platforms currently on the market.

According to the team at William Davis Homes: “The system just works.”

With a daily email to update clients, ProtectView offers a hassle-free approach to data storage, security and backup. “My team now has the peace of mind they didn’t before and I feel comfortable that all our files are easily recoverable, safely stored and securely encrypted. As a customer-facing business with a host of personal information at our fingertips, this is key.”

The team also noted how flexible the payments system was, alongside the bespoke nature of the product and package on offer. For many businesses, having to pay one annual, upfront cost is a huge investment, so having a range of options for payments works in the client’s favour, offering true value for money.

The ProtectView Platform

  • Competitive, flexible pricing
  • Intuitive and user-friendly interface with easily accessibly search functionality and file recovery
  • Quick recovery time allowing the team to revert back online without interruption
