Case Study: Bardel Entertainment achieves stronger data security and lower operational costs with Cohesity

Emmy Award-winning Bardel Entertainment increases data security and decreases operational costs with Cohesity

Bardel Entertainment, an Emmy Award-winning animation studio, needed stronger data protection, easier cyber insurance qualification, and lower storage and recovery costs for its production files. The company was struggling with slow restores from cloud archives and wanted a more reliable backup strategy, so it turned to Cohesity for backup and data management.

Cohesity implemented frequent incremental backups, deduplication, and fast recovery workflows, with short-term copies kept on Cohesity and archives stored in Wasabi. As a result, Bardel improved data security, reduced stored data by 30-40%, cut data recovery time by 99%, and lowered operational costs by speeding up artist access to restored assets.
