Case Study: Herbalife Nutrition achieves faster backup and recovery and cuts data management costs with Commvault

Herbalife Nutrition maximizes business value of data with faster backup and recovery

Herbalife Nutrition, a global nutrition and wellness company operating in 90+ markets, faced a fragmented, costly backup environment with more than 70 disparate solutions across four datacenters and hundreds of remote sites. The IT team needed to protect roughly 900 TB of critical systems (Exchange, Oracle, VMware, SQL, Active Directory, etc.), ensure high availability for millions of distributors and customers, and accelerate test/dev replication while reducing complexity and storage costs.

By standardizing on Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery and Commvault DASH Copy, Herbalife consolidated 70 tools into one central platform, enabled on‑demand replication, and achieved average deduplication/storage savings of about 85% (up to 98% on some apps). The result: a 98.7% annual backup success rate, faster backups (e.g., 35% quicker for 150 TB on VMware), about 480 restores per year with VM recovery under 20 minutes, empowered local teams, and significantly lower data management costs.
