Case Study: BIR achieves GDPR readiness, faster backups and 80% storage savings with Arcserve UDP

BIR gets GDPR-ready with Arcserve UDP software and Email Archiving

BIR, one of Norway’s largest waste management companies serving about 350,000 people across nine municipalities from its Bergen headquarters, faced rising tape-storage costs, time-consuming restores and a backup system that needed specialist maintenance. With GDPR coming into force, the company also needed reliable email archiving and fast access to personal data for compliance.

BIR deployed Arcserve UDP to back up virtual and physical servers across its offices, deduplicate data (around 80% reduction), replicate to a second site, and enable searchable email archiving. The result: much faster restores (emails in ~3 minutes, servers in minutes), reduced storage costs, freed IT resources, simpler management via a single console, and full readiness for GDPR.
