Case Study: M+K Lawyers achieves 90% data reduction, sub-30-minute backups and 60% fewer helpdesk tickets with Commvault

Commvault And Pure Storage Deliver Savings, Speed And Security For Australian-Based M+K Lawyers

M+K Lawyers is a mid‑tier Australian law firm with 45 principals and 275 staff across Brisbane to Melbourne that needed scalable, reliable IT to support rapid growth and strict legal data-retention requirements. The firm was facing application performance and latency issues, widening backup windows, and an IT team stretched into day‑to‑day maintenance instead of strategic work.

By deploying Commvault (OnePass, deduplication, VM management) alongside Pure Storage Flash Array for their Hyper‑V environment, M+K cut managed data volumes by around 90%, reduced backup windows from six hours to under 30 minutes (exchange backups now under 30 minutes, practice system 8 minutes), and saw helpdesk tickets fall by 40–60%. The integration improved application performance and recovery, delivered storage cost savings, and freed IT to focus on strategic initiatives.
