Aegis / Coastal Living Co - Protect Module Expansion

Coastal Living moving toward Aegis Protect expansion for hybrid backup with phased onboarding

Coastal Living's traffic growth from the spring launch exposed limits in its backup and recovery setup. Vanessa described fragmented visibility across CloudPrime, on-prem systems, and a third-party backup tool. Kevin positioned Aegis Protect as a unified hybrid solution, and they sized the scope at roughly 40–50 workloads and 80–100 TB. They agreed on a phased onboarding plan with RPO/RTO targets for the customer data platform. Kevin will send the onboarding plan and calendar invite by end of day tomorrow.
