Acronis True Image Success Story — Video Gaming Technologies, Inc. (VGT)

The Situation

In business since 1991, VGT's owner brings more than twenty years experience and a proven track record to Class II gaming. Led by its founder, Jon Yarbrough, VGT has provided quality games in markets throughout the United States.

Beginning with the popular Class III Riverboat Queen multi-game system initially introduced in the Louisiana market and continuing through a line of games that includes Vegas Blackjack and the current Treasure Quest series of Class II games, VGT consistently develops games that customers love. With thrilling 3-D graphics, CD.quality sound and hit ratios that keep players playing, VGT's games set the standard in markets as diverse as South Carolina and Oklahoma.

VGT's success is the product of technological innovation and in-depth knowledge of gaming markets. First to the Oklahoma marketplace with LCD touch screens, stepper-reel live-draw bingo games and a revolutionary narrow-width gaming cabinet that lets facilities place two machines in the space traditionally taken by one game, VGT's reputation is well-earned.

Key Challenges

VGT needed a solution that could clone servers quickly and accurately for deployment to the field. In addition, it was also looking for a backup and recovery solution for servers. VGT reviewed a number of other imaging products in addition to shareware and freeware alternatives. Each product was evaluated using the same hardware to provide a consistent benchmark. Acronis was quick and worked without any flaws.

Complete Success

VGT has implemented Acronis True Image 8.0 Enterprise Server. Ten servers are currently running the solution, representing about 40% of the existing servers in use at the company today. Minimal training was required for implementation to ensure that engineers understood how the product views backup images. The product is used in two ways: 1) to clone new servers for deployment and 2) to backup existing servers to disk.

Clone a Server in Hours Rather Than Days

VGT can now clone servers in a few hours rather than a few days. The company has not yet tested the solution to recover a server, but expects that a restore could be done in hours rather than days as well. The company is currently moving to backup all servers to disk as opposed to tape, to decrease the time to restore.
