Case Study: Cognizant achieves unified cyber resilience and 40% faster backups with Commvault

Modernization starts with cohesive data protection and recovery.

A global financial services firm, working with Cognizant, needed to modernize its cyber resilience after a fragmented backup and recovery environment—multiple point solutions, inconsistent policies, low visibility and a non‑resilient architecture—left data exposed to rising ransomware threats and drove up operational costs.

Cognizant and Commvault consolidated protection onto a centralized Commvault Cloud platform with de‑duplication, compression, snapshot integrations, global policy standardization and AI‑driven anomaly detection, orchestrating on‑prem and cloud storage for resilient recovery. The unified approach delivered faster, more reliable backups—40% faster restore for critical servers, 100% server coverage and a 99% backup success rate—while shrinking data footprint and storage costs, enabling replication for disaster recovery and ransomware alerting.
