Case Study: FIS achieves faster disaster recovery and lower backup costs with Cobalt Iron

FIS Data Protection Delivers Confidence to Customers

FIS, a global provider of banking and payments technologies, faced significant challenges with its aging, tape-based data backup and recovery system. The process was too slow to meet critical recovery targets and could not keep pace with growing data volumes and constant business demands. FIS needed a new generation solution from a vendor like Cobalt Iron to ensure data integrity, meet compliance, and streamline the protection of customer information.

Cobalt Iron implemented its Private Cloud solution, accelerated with two CI Accelerators, to automate data protection and eliminate physical tapes. The results were substantial, including a 92% reduction in restore times and an 89% cut in off-site storage costs. The Cobalt Iron solution also freed up over 80 hours of administrative time annually and allowed FIS to validate its disaster recovery readiness daily, turning its backup process into a competitive asset.
