Case Study: Banco Columbia achieves over 300% faster backup and recovery with Arcserve UDP

Banco Columbia Reduces Backup and Recovery Times by Over 300% with Arcserve UDP

Banco Columbia is an Argentine consumer bank with 58 branches, nearly 900 employees and over 470,000 customers. Facing long, manual backup and contingency processes—failover and recovery could take up to 10 hours—the bank needed a scalable, measurable way to improve IT continuity and increase data availability for internal and external users.

Banco Columbia upgraded from Arcserve Backup to Arcserve UDP (onboarded November 2017), with replication to a secondary site, Virtual Standby and High Availability implemented by partner Tecnosophie. UDP now protects 200+ servers across Linux, Windows, Oracle and SQL, enables continuous, non‑disruptive backups with remote copies and global deduplication (reducing storage by >85%), and cut backup and contingency recovery times by over 300%.
