Case Study: Lumen Consolidates Backup Platforms and Saves $3.5M with Commvault

Lumen saves $3.5M and consolidates 23 backup platforms with Commvault

Lumen, a company built through acquisitions, faced significant challenges after inheriting 23 disparate backup platforms. This created operational sprawl and inconsistent security policies across their on-premises and multi-cloud environments. The lack of immutable or air-gapped backups also heightened their exposure to ransomware threats. To address these issues, Lumen chose to partner with the vendor Commvault.

By implementing the Commvault Cloud platform, Lumen consolidated all backup operations into a single, unified control plane. The solution included Commvault's Air Gap Protect for immutable backups and provided centralized management. This shift resulted in projected annual savings of $3.5 million, a 99% backup success rate, and recovery times that were 70% faster. Commvault enabled Lumen to strengthen its security posture and free its IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
