Case Study: se² achieves a single backup platform, faster RTO/RPO and reduced costs with Catalogic Software

se² Implements Catalogic® DPX™ Replacing Three Data Protection Products

se², a growing provider of back- and front-office solutions for the life insurance and annuity industry, was struggling with data growth and the complexity of three different backup platforms (EMC Avamar/Networker and Symantec Backup Exec). Managing disparate systems required a full‑time administrator, increased licensing and support costs, and produced slow, tape-dependent recoveries that threatened RPOs and RTOs.

se² migrated 120+ TB to NetApp and consolidated backups with Catalogic DPX, phasing out the other products and protecting both physical and virtual servers from a single console. The change delivered instant access and rapid return to production, consistent RPOs/RTOs of under four hours, single‑item and bare‑metal recovery, reduced staff to part‑time administration, and lower license, hardware and support costs.
