Case Study: Vita Group achieves over $500K in TCO savings and simplifies backup and restore with Cohesity

Vita Group Simplifies Its Backup and Restore with Cohesity for Cost Savings of Over $500K

Vita Group is a publicly listed Australian retailer with 130+ retail locations and about 1,800 staff that was struggling with a complex backup architecture based on Commvault and EMC Isilon. The environment required a dedicated specialist, suffered indexing limits that made older files hard to recover, and was growing due to increased SaaS use and Office 365 data—so the company sought a simpler, cloud‑integrated, cost‑effective data protection solution.

Vita Group deployed a five‑node Cohesity hyperconverged cluster with Cloud Archive and Tape Archive and native Azure integration after a successful proof‑of‑concept. The new platform sped up restores, reduced backup/restore administration from three days to one day per week, enabled any team member to run backups and restores, and is forecast to deliver over $500K in TCO savings across five years while enabling future SaaS and cloud backup use.
