GDG operates from only one location but supports freelance workers worldwide. About 70 staff mostly use Adobe Creative Cloud applications.

This had been run on Windows servers running on VMware with 172TB of Equallogic iSCSI storage, with Acronis File Connect to allow Mac connection to file storage.

Data protection comprised 21 days' worth of Equallogic snapshots held locally and at the company's ISP site, plus tape backup and archiving via Atempo to a Spectra Logic LTO-5 library.

GDG technology vice-president Kyle Edsall said there were many benefits to the existing setup, not least of which was the very cheap and infinite data retention capabilities of tape backup. The downside to that, however, was data restore times that could run into days or weeks.
