KELYN Technologies & The Missile Defense Agency (MDA)
Data protection is paramount in our digital age. It's vital for U.S. defense agencies where the security, backup, and swift recovery of data could have national security implications.
KELYN Technologies
At the forefront of data protection, backup, and recovery, KELYN Technologies has carved out a reputation for its trusted services, tailored to a variety of industries' unique challenges. KELYN's services are built upon a foundation of customer-centric approaches backed by a fleet of KELYN engineers and certified technical professionals.
Missile Defense Agency (MDA)
MDA, an arm of the United States Department of Defense, bears the weighty responsibility of developing a multi-layered defense against ballistic missiles. With roots tracing back to the 1983 Strategic Defense Initiative, the agency continually collaborates with different defense components to augment its capabilities.
Challenge
MDA, initially relying on Veritas's NetBackup, found the system increasingly unwieldy. Requiring two full-time employees for management, coupled with a dated user interface, the software became an impediment. This gave rise to the pressing need for an efficient, streamlined solution that would inspire confidence in swift data restoration.
Meeting MDA's demanding requirements is no easy task. The challenges KELYN faced include:
Backup and restore-ready of MDA's data (petabytes across multiple sites and security domains)
Hundreds of hosts and thousands of objects for ESXi
Thousands of virtual machines (VMs) across bare metal and cloud environments
Seamless operation across dozens of security domains
Requirement for extremely fast restorations when needed

Implementation
What traditionally might take other organizations 6-12 months to migrate data from an old backup and recovery platform to KELYN was achieved in a staggering 6 weeks. This speed didn't sacrifice on quality. KELYN's focus on proactive management enabled MDA to free up IT staff to other pressing tasks.

Staff freed to focus on other projects
We require a lot when it comes to restorations. When these events occur, the team is under non-stop pressure internally to successfully complete the restore as fast as possible. Our last restoration included 16 terabytes of file server data, and KELYN delivered in 16 hours. Previously, a similar restore took over three days. The speed of restoration by KELYN is extremely valuable and greatly appreciated.
