Case Study: Nevada Department of Transportation halves backup management time and accelerates cloud transformation with Commvault's Metallic

Nevada Department of Transportation is Able to Focus on Public Safety by Selecting Metallic

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), which oversees the state’s highways and bridges, needed a simpler, more reliable way to migrate on‑premises data and virtual machines to Azure and adopt Office 365 while meeting compliance and ransomware‑protection requirements. Their IT team sought to reduce the heavy day‑to‑day burden of backup administration, eliminate reliance on hardware, and increase availability to support public‑safety initiatives.

NDOT selected Commvault’s Metallic SaaS for unified, scalable data protection across on‑premises and cloud environments, gaining a single‑pane management interface and built‑in ransomware insights. With Metallic they moved 350+ VMs to the cloud, cut backup management time by over 50%, reduced infrastructure costs by ~25% (saving $100k+ annually), and freed staff to focus on higher‑value work.
