Case Study: Institut Biochimique SA (IBSA) achieves protection of 30TB and regulatory compliance with Arcserve Backup

IBSA Safeguards 30TB of critical data with Arcserve Backup

Institut Biochimique SA (IBSA) is a privately owned European pharmaceutical company with 1,800 employees that sells products in more than 70 countries. Faced with strict regulatory requirements to retain records for decades or indefinitely and rapid data growth (from under 1TB to 30TB), IBSA needed to modernize its IT estate and scale backup capacity while controlling costs and staff overhead.

IBSA scaled its long-standing Arcserve Backup deployment to the refreshed infrastructure (IBM servers/storage, Cisco networking, VMware virtualization and LTO5/LTO6 tape libraries), using daily full backups for critical VMs and incremental/weekly full backups for other data and upgrading to Arcserve 16.5. The solution now protects 30TB of critical data, delivers faster recoveries, ensures regulatory compliance and business continuity, and reduces the risk and cost of data loss.
