Case Study: Leopold Kostal cuts storage costs by €5 million with Commvault Cloud

Leopold Kostal cuts storage costs by €5 million in three years with Commvault

Leopold Kostal GmbH & Co. (KOSTAL), a global manufacturer of automotive electronic products, faced significant challenges with its expensive and labor-intensive tape-based backup process. Managing long-term data retention across 46 locations with multiple backup solutions was difficult and increased cyberattack risks. Seeking a single data protection platform to reduce costs, KOSTAL turned to vendor Commvault and implemented Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery along with Commvault File Storage Optimization.

The Commvault solution consolidated five backup products into a single platform, dramatically improving efficiency. Results included slashing storage costs by €5 million over three years, reducing backup copy size by 88% via deduplication, and increasing team productivity by 60%. Data recovery time was cut from two months to just one or two days. Commvault also provided enhanced security against ransomware and is anticipated to deliver a further 40% cost reduction over the next five years.
