Case Study: Orchid Pharma achieves 96% disk usage reduction and up to 10% lower annual operating costs with Commvault

Orchid Pharma significantly cuts hardware costs with Commvault

Orchid Pharma, a Chennai-based pharmaceutical manufacturer, faced a fragmented backup environment, frequent backup failures and a lengthy 15-hour backup window while needing to meet strict regulatory requirements for 100% data recovery. The IT team sought to simplify backup and recovery, reduce costs, and free resources to focus on innovation.

Orchid deployed Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery integrated with NetApp storage, implemented in eight days with partner support and using deduplication and application-aware backups. The result: disk usage fell by 96%, one-time hardware savings exceeded US$139,000, annual operating costs dropped up to 10%, backup windows shortened by ~60%, restore times improved up to 50%, and the company now reports zero backup failures and greater IT productivity.
