Case Study: William Buck NSW achieves sub-5-minute restores and 24x faster recovery with Cohesity

William Buck NSW Utilizes Cohesity to Slash Recovery Times

William Buck NSW is a regional arm of a long-established chartered accounting and advisory firm with about 210 staff in New South Wales. As its document and data volumes grew (including sensitive client records and firm precedents), the small in-house IT team faced slow recovery times—routine restores took 30 minutes to two hours—and concerns about disaster recovery, security and cost as the business scaled.

After a half-day proof‑of‑concept from partner VECTR, William Buck deployed a three‑node Cohesity appliance stack with DataProtect and CloudArchive. The solution cut file-restore times to under five minutes (up to 24× faster) and reduced bare‑metal server restores from two hours to 5–10 minutes, while preserving deduplication and encryption across on‑premises and cloud archives and integrating smoothly with Nutanix under a subscription model.
