Case Study: Clifford Chance achieves centralized global data protection with Commvault

Clifford Chance Turns to Commvault for Global Backup Platform

Clifford Chance, a global law firm headquartered in London with 37 offices across 27 countries, faced inconsistent backup systems—its London data center ran Symantec while other sites used Commvault—creating uneven service levels across primary and DR sites. The firm needed a standardized, centrally managed data protection platform and a low‑risk migration approach to consolidate systems and align with its global IT and procurement strategy.

Clifford Chance selected Commvault as its single worldwide solution, using Commvault’s tools (including the External Data Connector), professional services and training to perform a like‑for‑like migration and upgrades with minimal disruption. The result is a centrally managed global backup platform that improved service levels and stability, simplified management, enabled future cloud and extended functionality, and provided managed support that acts as an extension of the firm’s IT team.
