Design-driven fields as disparate as architecture, engineering, and graphic design have two big things in common: large file sizes and a high dollar amount associated with each megabyte of data that’s created. They also often have another aspect in common: usage of Macs within or across the firm. Axcient enables design industries, regardless of their operating system platforms, to back up active data often for efficient recovery in the event of a lost or damaged file or a downed server. Individual designers can even set how often backups occur for a project file on which they’re working. With Axcient, it’s also simple to archive big (and small) files securely for the long term for easy access when they become needed. The flexibility and reliability of Axcient’s data protection service sets designers free from worrying about whether the fruits of their labor are safe, so that they can do what they do best: design the future of what we see, build, and wear.

Customer Successes

The challenge for HPC Architecture, Inc.: Architectural firm needed a data protection solution that could retrieve lost data quickly in order to ensure the future success of projects.

How We Use Axcient:

“We have been using Axcient’s offsite data storage services as back-up to our internal system. We were working on a large architectural design project and found ourselves in the position of having lost all the onsite data on the project. Within 15 minutes of discovering the problem, we were able to retrieve everything we had lost by connecting to Axcient’s offsite backup. We estimate our savings to be over $8,000 in what otherwise would have been lost billable time.”
