Case Study: Korea Life Insurance Association achieves 10x faster backups and reduced costs with Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery

Korea Life Insurance Association reduces cost and complexity of backups with Commvault

Korea Life Insurance Association (KLIA), a Seoul-based non-profit representing 24 life insurers, needed to modernize backups for roughly 1 million files (about 10 TB) across a heterogeneous mix of Unix, Citrix and virtualized servers and multiple databases. Its legacy backup system required costly upgrades and complex licensing, produced media and storage errors, and took about 100 hours to complete weekly backups—disrupting operations and driving up costs.

KLIA deployed Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery (with partner KMDM) as a single platform for backup, deduplication, archiving and search across environments, moving to capacity-based licensing and centralized management. The result: weekly backup time for 1 million files dropped from ~100 to ~10 hours (10x faster), licensing and management costs were reduced, reliability improved, and staff were freed for more productive tasks.
