Case Study: Illinois State University achieves cloud efficiency and reduced storage footprint with Commvault and AWS

Illinois State University secures 1 petabyte and cuts data center footprint with Commvault

Illinois State University faced the challenge of reducing IT complexity and manual processes, including maintaining an offsite data center, while needing to protect irreplaceable campus-wide data from loss and cyber threats. They sought to simplify data protection across hybrid environments and empower distributed IT departments. To address this, the university turned to Commvault for a modern data protection solution.

By implementing Commvault Cloud HyperScale™ X and Commvault Complete™ Autonomous Recovery, the university migrated its backups to AWS, decommissioning its offsite data center. This solution provided automated, scalable data protection with robust security features. The results for Illinois State University included a significant reduction in its storage hardware footprint and associated power and cooling costs, the elimination of manual maintenance trips, and the enablement of a self-service IT model that freed staff to focus on strategic projects.
