Case Study: OrchidPharma achieves zero-downtime data center migration and 90% faster recovery with Commvault

OrchidPharma ensures uninterrupted healthcare service with Commvault

OrchidPharma, a Chennai-based pharmaceutical company with multiple manufacturing sites and an R&D center, faced a tight IT challenge after an acquisition: migrate its centralized data center to a new location in two weeks while minimizing storage hardware costs amid up to 18% monthly data growth and keeping manufacturing running through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Using Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery to replicate and restore VMware VMs, the team completed the migration remotely in 11 days with zero downtime and no additional costs (each VM moved in 30–45 minutes). The solution delivered more than 90% deduplication—allowing the same storage footprint for six years despite strong data growth—cut backup/restore effort by over 90%, and protected VMs, SAP, Oracle, SharePoint, Exchange and endpoints, ensuring continuous operations and data availability.
