Case Study: Chart Industries achieves 20-hour full recovery and protects global operations with Commvault

Chart Industries solves its $5,000-a-minute downtime issue with Commvault

Chart Industries, a global manufacturer, faced a high-stakes backup and recovery problem: downtime could cost the business $5,000 a minute, and its IT environment relied on nine different backup strategies across more than 40 sites, costing about $1M annually. Scaling was hampered by a mix of tape, USB and network storage and there was no centralized management of backup processes or technologies.

Chart implemented Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery with Commvault Live Sync to create virtual server copies in Azure and consolidate protection across its global data center, 40+ divisional sites and cloud services. When a major incident took out 75% of systems, the company fully recovered within 20 hours—running 282 recovery jobs with just 11 people—and lost fewer than 10 in‑flight files, preserving manufacturing operations and company reputation.
