Case Study: La Redoute UK cuts £60,000 in data protection licensing and ensures business continuity with Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery
A Commvault Case Study
La Redoute UK cuts data protection licensing costs with Commvault
La Redoute UK, the British arm of the French e‑commerce retailer serving 750,000 customers, faced a sharp rise in backup licensing costs after its legacy solution tripled in price and lost site-to-site replication capability following outsourcing of warehouse and call‑center operations. At the same time evolving GDPR requirements made stronger security and more reliable offsite recovery essential to protect customer credit data and keep e‑commerce operations running.
La Redoute deployed Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery with partner PAV IT Services to restore offsite replication, integrate VMware and support Office 365, simplifying backup management. The change delivered about £60,000 in licensing savings over three years (~£20,000/year), nearly a 50% reduction in backup resources, 12–24 hours saved per week in administration, and stronger security and business continuity.
