Business Case

Dealing with different customers, the definition and amount of "critical" data is always increasing. Without a PC backup system in place, the IT team could understand that more than just data it was critical customer account information at stake.

Travelling users added to the complexity. "We did not want to invest in backup software which protects the data only in the office premise. It's like buying an insurance policy which does not cover your travel.", says Head IT Operations.

Compliance was another issue, because of which 1 year of data retention policy had to be implemented. But, with large number of users, the traditional backup methods required over 30 TB of space.

Druva inSync Deployment and Results

Highly scalable Druva inSync solution easily automated the backup process for a large number of enterprise users. Opportunistic scheduling ensures quick backups whenever network bandwidth is available.

The deduplication feature reduces the amount of data being backed up saving critical bandwidth and storage for local and remote users. The WAN optimization and secure network backup facilitate faster and more secure backups for remote users.

The overall storage requirement is reduced which has helped the customer implement 1 year of retention policy. The simple point-in-time restores offer full access to the archived data.

Return of Investment (ROI) Benefits

The backup solution could protect all local and remote users saving significant productivity and corporate data.

The data deduplication feature has enabled a gain of 1:15 in bandwidth and storage utilisation. The backup time over WAN was cut down to under 5 minutes and storage requirements to under 2 TB for a data retention period of 1 year. The customer was able to meet all compliance and regulatory guidelines.
