This webinar discussed Computer Transition Services, Inc (CTSI) migrating 50 clients from the failing Zenith backup and disaster recovery (BDR) service to eFolder BDR. Zenith was facing liquidation, so CTSI needed to replace outdated Zenith BDR appliances. CTSI standardized on eFolder BDR, migrated client data using the eFolder Rescue Program, and replaced 40 Zenith BDRs through eFolder's upgrade program. This saved CTSI at least $40,000 while guaranteeing clients' recovery time and point objectives. The webinar also reviewed eFolder's migration and upgrade options for replacing Zenith BDR with new eFolder BDR appliances.

Editor's Notes
- Before we go through the agenda, let’s cover a few house keeping items. Today’s session is being recorded. The recorded version of the webinar will be made available on eFolder’s YouTube channel. We will also make copies of the slides available to those who registered for the event. With over 80 people registered for today’s session, we have put all participants in listen-only mode. You can enjoy the audio portion of today’s event by either streaming it on your computer or by dialing in over the phone. Questions are strongly encouraged throughout. We have planned a special Q&A section at the end of today’s discussion, but you may submit as we go along and we will try to address your questions on the fly. Today’s presentation follows a logical flow: First, we will discuss the news of Zenith’s closure and some of the challenges that Zenith has created for partners like CTSI. Bobby will then discuss the specific challenges that Zenith created for his company, how his company chose to address those problems, and how his company has regained their footing by successfully migrating and upgrading over 40 BDRs to date. Finally, we’ll discuss the options that you, as a partner, have for migration and upgrading through eFolder.
