Case Study: Brazilship achieves faster backups and recoveries and 70% cost savings with Arcserve UDP

Brazilship Streamlines the Protection of Its Data with Arcserve UDP

Brazilship is Brazil’s largest shipbroking firm, acting as an intermediary between vessel owners and lessees across maritime cargo segments and holding ISO 9001 certification. The company faced slow tape-based backups and long recovery windows—application and system recovery could take up to three days—making faster, more reliable backup and restore processes a top priority for IT and the business.

After evaluating options, Brazilship deployed Arcserve UDP to protect 1 TB across four servers with image-based backups, Standby VM and cloud replication, and customized backups every three hours plus daily/weekly/monthly schedules. The change cut backup times from hours to minutes and restorations from days to hours, reduced storage and personnel costs by about 70%, and delivered roughly 80% less downtime and a ~75% reduction in risk.
