Case Study: SISTIC achieves 50% shorter backup windows and S$50,000 cost savings across its hybrid-cloud environment with Cohesity

SISTIC Reduces Backup Time and Cost Across Its Hybrid-Cloud Environment with Cohesity

SISTIC, Singapore’s leading online ticketing company, was struggling with rapid data growth across a hybrid-cloud environment and three datacentres. Its legacy tape-based backup process created fragmented silos, slow recoveries, daily manual effort and limited visibility — a heavy burden for a small IT team that needed scalable, cloud-ready data management and longer-term retention for regulatory compliance.

SISTIC deployed Cohesity (Helios, DataPlatform, DataProtect, CloudArchive and Spotlight) to unify backups, archive 20+ TB for multi-year retention, protect Office 365, provide scale-out NAS, and add fast search and anti-ransomware defenses. The result: backup windows cut by more than 50% with instant restores from a single repository, tapes and off-site services eliminated, estimated savings of S$50,000 over two years, and about 60 hours reclaimed per month along with stronger security and simplified management.
