Case Study: Jotun achieves manufacturing and supply chain continuity with Arcserve

Jotun Safeguards manufacturing and supply chain continuity with Arcserve

Jotun, a global paint and coatings manufacturer with 7,800 employees and operations in more than 80 countries, needed to protect production and supply-chain continuity by ensuring availability of critical Lotus Domino databases and ERP systems. Although SAN replication covered disaster scenarios, the company required a reliable, centralized backup solution to enable rapid recovery from accidental deletions or corruption and to remove the burden of backup administration from non-technical staff at satellite offices.

Jotun deployed Arcserve Backup (used historically at core sites) to protect 25 TB across 250 servers with automated daily incremental and weekly full disk-to-disk-to-tape backups, and added Arcserve Replication to mirror satellite-site data to the main datacentre. The combined solution delivers seconds-to-minutes recovery for files and databases, reduces storage and hardware needs through deduplication, allowed a 60% growth in backup volume to be managed by just two people, and supports restores up to five years—helping Jotun keep orders and deliveries running without disruption.
