Before MBS, several customers planned to purchase additional infrastructure to resolve backup performance issues. The MBS team determined that misconfigured virus scans and network bottlenecks were causing performance degradation. The team helped reconfigure the virus scans, which resolved the network bottlenecks. Performance increased, eliminating the need to purchase additional infrastructure.1 1 Based on an actual customer example in 2011–2012.

The request was approved.1
