Case Study: British Medical Association achieves simpler, more secure backup and rapid recovery with Commvault Cloud

Commvault® Cloud Autonomous Recovery secures the British Medical Association’s (BMA) core applications and information to help doctors deliver excellent patient care

The British Medical Association, the UK trade union for doctors and medical students, needed to protect vital legal, operational, and member data while simplifying a complex backup environment made up of 12 different systems. With rapid data growth and a need for secure, reliable recovery, the BMA turned to Commvault Cloud Autonomous Recovery to improve visibility, reduce complexity, and support patient safety.

Commvault implemented Commvault Cloud to centralize backup and recovery across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS systems, with encryption, replication, and an air-gapped immutable copy for added resilience. The result was a 57% reduction in backup system costs over three years, a one-minute recovery point objective for critical systems, and full restores in 2 to 6 hours, giving the BMA stronger security, faster recovery, and more resources to reinvest in member services and research.
