Case Study: Dongbu Steel achieves 50% faster backups and major cost savings with Commvault

Dongbu Steel Supports Data Growth with Commvault

Dongbu Steel, a leading Seoul-based steel manufacturer with two factories and about 1,500 employees producing 2.4 million tons of steel annually, was struggling with rapid data growth and an unreliable tape-based backup environment. The company needed faster, more efficient ERP and virtual server backups, scalable licensing to support future growth, and a cost-effective disaster recovery solution.

Dongbu deployed Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery (covering AIX, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SAP ERP and VMware) with IntelliSnap, deduplication and replication. The result: ERP and database backups are now completed in about two hours (50% faster), virtual server backups run 6x faster, disaster recovery is enhanced, storage and bandwidth costs are reduced through deduplication, and daily operations are simplified by a single Korean console and flexible licensing.
