Case Study: Endor achieves simplified, scalable data management and slashes recovery time by over 99% with Cohesity

Endor Simplifies and Scales Data Management, Reduces Data Recovery Time Over 99%

Endor is an Icelandic IT services and consulting firm (founded 2015) serving customers like Vodafone Iceland that outgrew its legacy backup and storage stack—Veeam, HPE 3PAR and Apollo—leading to a complex, high‑maintenance environment, unsupported hardware, and operational risk that threatened service levels as the business scaled.

In February 2021 Endor moved to Cohesity’s software‑defined platform (DataProtect and SmartFiles), consolidating backup and storage into a single, easy‑to‑manage solution. The migration simplified operations and freed staff for strategic work, delivered >55x storage reduction and an 80% smaller data‑center footprint, cut major recovery times from ~26 hours to 10 seconds (>99% reduction), enabled rapid capacity scaling for new customers, and is projected to pay back within about 24 months.
