In today’s threat landscape, the question isn’t if your organization will experience an outage — it’s when. From ransomware and system failures to human error and aging infrastructure, IT disruptions have become more frequent and more costly. For organizations that rely heavily on technology to operate smoothly, even a few minutes of downtime can result in financial loss, reputational damage, and operational chaos. This is why more businesses are turning to a managed disaster recovery and backup partner who can deliver both protection and peace of mind.
Recently, CSPi Technology Solutions partnered with one of Florida’s most recognizable organizations — the Miami Dolphins — to strengthen their data protection strategy and ensure their operations can recover quickly, cleanly, and confidently.
Today, we’re sharing what we learned and how this partnership demonstrates the power of a modern, resilient backup solution.
Why Backup and Recovery Matters More Than Ever
The Dolphins’ IT environment is built on a massive ecosystem of technology that supports:
- Game-day operations
- Broadcast media workflows
- Fan engagement services
- Internal business systems
- Football operations and analytics
With so many systems generating and storing critical data, traditional backup tools simply weren’t enough to protect their environment from growing threats like ransomware, corruption, and hardware failure.
Their team needed:
- Clean, malware-free backups
- Immutable storage
- Fast recovery times
- Unified visibility
- A co-managed partner they could rely on in high-pressure situations
Where CSPi Came In
CSPi Technology Solutions delivered a fully managed backup and recovery service powered by Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, giving the Dolphins a trusted partner who works as an extension of their IT team.
Our service included:
- Unified backup, security, and management
- A single solution to safeguard workloads across their hybrid environment.
- Immutable backups
- Protection from ransomware and accidental deletion.
- Co-managed access
- Both organizations can monitor, manage, and interact with their recovery workflows.
- Rapid recovery
- Critical systems can be restored within minutes, minimizing operational disruption.
- White-glove engineering support
- Fast troubleshooting, proactive guidance, and ongoing optimization from CSPi’s engineering team.
This combination of modern technology and expert service dramatically improved their recovery readiness — and gave the organization confidence that their data is always protected.
The Results: Faster, Safer, Stronger
The joint service solution between CSPi and the Dolphins resulted in:
- Minutes-level recovery for important systems
- Peace of mind knowing backups are malware-free
- Greater operational consistency across game-day and business functions
