Case Study: Astra Daihatsu Motor achieves high availability and avoids costly production downtime with Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery (Commvault)

Commvault helps Indonesian auto manufacturer achieve high availability of critical production systems and improve customer service

Astra Daihatsu Motor, a leading Indonesian auto manufacturer with 12,500 employees across five sites (including two production plants), faced costly production risks because each assembly line loses about US $1,000 per minute of downtime. Relying on slow, manual daily backups, the company experienced multi‑hour outages that threatened revenue, on‑time deliveries and regulatory compliance, so it needed a fast, reliable way to ensure high availability of business‑critical systems with minimal disruption to manufacturing.

The company deployed Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery (covering 140 applications and databases) integrated with HPE and Fujifilm tape systems, implemented in two weeks with partner support and managed from a single console across sites. The solution cut recovery time by 80% (from over eight hours to about two), shrank the backup window by 95%, minimized the risk of losing roughly US $60,000 per hour from downtime, eliminated IT overtime for outage recovery, and now supports the company’s digitalization and compliance needs.
