Fire Service Procures Asigra Cloud Backup
Via G-Cloud Digital Marketplace
Backup Technology (BTL), which specialises in online backup
& disaster recovery services for global enterprises, is helping
Essex County Fire & Rescue Service (ECFRS) safeguard the data
it generates as it protects local people and property.

ECFRS is one of the largest county fire services in the UK,
protecting a population of more than 1.74 million. Its firefighters
attend over 24,000 emergency incidents every year. After its
existing backup solution became too difficult to manage, ECFRS
chose BTL via the UK Government’s Digital Marketplace for G-Cloud
services, to provide an improved managed service.
Jan Swanwick, Head of ICT for Essex County Fire & Rescue
Service, explained: “Traditionally procurement has been a long,
protracted process. With G-Cloud it is very straightforward because
all the supplier and product information has already been collated
and validated.”
BTL, which is part of cloud company iomart, protects more than
22TB of data for the fire service using a Public Cloud Backup
solution from Asigra.
Paul Hill, Assistant Chief Fire Officer for Safer Communities
said: “Saving lives isn’t just about putting out fires and
attending emergencies, it is about using the data we collect during
our work to protect the people and property of our county. We spend
a huge amount of time analysing the data we collect so that we can
target our services in the correct and most efficient way. Knowing
that this data is protected by Backup Technology is vital to the
success of everything we do.”
Rob Mackle, Sales & Service Manager for BTL, said: “The
fully managed solution encompasses every aspect of the backup
contract from configuration and installation through to the daily
monitoring and restoration support of the backups.”
Asigra is the world’s leading online backup software developer
and BTL its largest global partner.
Eran Farajun, Executive Vice President of Asigra, said: “Essex
County Fire & Rescue’s mission critical operation is a perfect
example where data availability can have a real impact on an
organisation’s quality of service. BTL understands this and relies
on our award-winning data recovery software to provide customers
with best-of-breed backup services. This recent deployment
highlights the continued momentum of cloud-based data recovery
throughout the region.”
