Con. J. Franke Electric success story

Con. J. Franke Electric has been contracting in Northern California since 1925 and is affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors Association.

Their goal is to have the most technically-trained personnel available to provide the highest quality electrical products and service for their clients. They pride themselves in being able to handle any size project from design/build to remodel and maintenance. Their staff is fully equipped to handle all aspects of design, build and scheduling from a project's preliminary stages to final completion for commercial, heavy industrial and high tech industry projects. As a full service electrical contractor, they are committed to providing the highest quality installations at the least cost to their customers.

Con J. Franke Electric is a full service electrical contractor with a single person IT staff that is responsible for managing a multiple Windows server environment. With nearly a terabyte of customer and project data stored across several Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 Servers, providing reliable data protection could have been a daunting and time consuming task for IT Administrator, Scott Frazier.

Scott was battling growing volumes of data and shrinking backup windows when he finally chose Yosemite. In the past, Scott had a chance to evaluate many other backup products and the decision to standardize on backup solutions from Yosemite was due to the overall value, performance and ease-of-use found in the product.

Yosemite is a leading provider of backup and recovery software that is bundled with OEM tape drive manufactures. Con J. Franke Electric originally became acquainted with Yosemite when it received the Yosemite Backup Tapeware XE product as part of the bundled solution in a Hewlett Packard DAT tape drive. They quickly saw the value in the product and purchased add-on licenses to provide multiple server backup, open file support, online protection for Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server, all with an annual maintenance contract that entitled them to technical support and new product releases.

According to Con J. Franke, the purchase has been well worth it: “Having been a long time customer and beta tester for the new Yosemite Backup 8, we look forward to continued use of Yosemite Technologies backup products. They have outdone themselves again!"

When Scott learned of the upcoming release of Yosemite Backup 8, he signed up and became an active participant in the “Early Access” beta program and had the following to say about the products advancements:

Some of the things Scott found interesting were the enhanced graphical user interface, the more robust scheduling features, automatic Self Tuning Logic (STL) that can dramatically increased backup performance and the new support for backup-2-disk through an integrated virtual tape library (VTL).
