Case Study: 2degrees achieves 50% reduction in storage and total cost of ownership with Commvault HyperScale Software (Commvault)

2degrees Cuts Storage Needs And Total Cost of Ownership By 50% With Commvault Hyperscale Software

2degrees, a New Zealand full‑service telecommunications provider serving over one million customers, faced growing data demands—about 380 TB of sensitive customer and corporate information—and an aging backup infrastructure that was costly, complex to manage, and difficult to scale. The IT team needed to modernize data protection, reduce administrative overhead and maintenance, and gain the agility required in a fast‑moving telecom market.

By deploying Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery and Commvault HyperScale Software on HPE Apollo hardware (integrated with VMware and Office 365), 2degrees consolidated its backup estate, reduced patching and admin effort, and enabled hybrid on‑prem/cloud operations. The result: storage requirements were cut by 50%, total cost of ownership fell 50% over five years, patching time was halved, administration costs decreased, and the company gained a simpler, more agile, future‑proof data protection platform.
