Droitwich Spa School Improves Backup  
Performance, Reduces Costs, Improves 
Data Recovery, and Gains £62,000 in  
Net Benefits
Droitwich Spa High School is a specialist sports school located in Droitwich 
Spa, England, with an enrollment of approximately 1,500 students. The use of 
computers has become increasingly important in the school’s curriculum, and 
students use digital media for their schoolwork. As a result, the school’s storage 
needs have been growing rapidly.
The school’s servers were running out of disk space, and it was backing up data 
from them directly to tape. That was proving to be costly and inefficient. The 
school was looking for a solution that would improve backup performance,  
reduce backup costs, improve data recovery, increase backup capacity, and 
back up from multiple servers. 
Droitwich Spa High School chose the HP StorageWorks D2D2500 Backup  
System because it was more affordable, more flexible, and easier to manage 
than large tape units. The school also purchased four HP ProLiant DL380 G5 
servers, the world’s best-selling servers.
As a result, Droitwich Spa School now has a fast, reliable backup solution, and 
enough storage to last into the foreseeable future. The school has reduced 
costs, increased data security, and improved network performance. Its backup 
runs quickly and reliably, and the overnight backup window no longer goes into 
the following morning. The school will gain a cumulative, projected three-year 
net benefit of £61,997, driven by avoiding unnecessary hardware-related costs, 
and by reducing tape costs. The project has a return on investment of 113% and 
a payback period of 17 months.
Benefits
Objective 
Benefits Achieved
Reduce the  
With the HP StorageWorks D2D2500 Backup System, backups no longer 
backup window  
continue into the school day. This increases network bandwidth available    
 
for students and staff.
Improve data  
Staff can now much more quickly find and recover data. In addition, the 
recovery 
school now has an extra layer of data redundancy, to ensure that data is    
 
never lost.
Reduce costs 
As a result of the HP deployment, the school will gain a cumulative, 
 
projected three-year net benefit of £61,997, driven by avoiding   
 
 
unnecessary hardware-related costs, and by reducing tape costs.
HIGHLIGHTS
Goal: For Droitwich Spa High 
School to improve backup speed 
and reliability, meet dramatically  
growing storage needs, and 
reduce costs.
Solution: HP StorageWorks 
D2D2500 Backup System,  
HP ProLiant DL380 G5 servers 
Results: The Droitwich Spa 
School now has a fast, reliable 
backup solution, and enough 
storage to last into the fore-
seeable future. The school has 
reduced costs, increased data 
security, and improved network 
performance. Its backup runs 
quickly and reliably, and the over-
night backup window no longer 
goes into the following morning. 
The school will gain a cumulative, 
projected three-year net benefit 
of £61,997, driven by avoiding 
unnecessary hardware-related 
costs, and by reducing tape  
costs. The project has a return  
on investment of 113% and a  
payback period of 17 months.
