Goodwill Industries of Southern New Jersey/Philadelphia migrated to AWS from an on-premises environment to ensure their servers would always be available to support their retail and training operations at multiple physical locations. For data protection and recovery, Goodwill chose Cloud Protection Manager (CPM) from N2WS. Leveraging native AWS technologies like EBS snapshots, CPM easily scales and provides maximum flexibility, no matter how often an organization needs to perform data backups. CPM enables immediate data recovery, allowing Goodwill to restore single files or entire operational workloads in moments. Join this webinar to learn how Goodwill implemented CPM to protect their AWS environment from any type of outage or failure.
