Case Study: Persistent Systems achieves 66% faster recovery and sub-22-minute RPO with Commvault Cloud powered by Metallic AI

Persistent Systems strengthens defenses against fast-evolving cyber threats

Persistent Systems, a global IT services firm headquartered in India with 22,800 employees, faced the challenge of accelerating growth while maintaining rock‑solid data security. Its on‑premises cyber resilience tools limited scalability and left the company exposed to ransomware, unplanned downtime and potential data loss—Persistent had targeted a 24‑hour RTO and 1‑hour RPO but needed a more robust, scalable approach.

Persistent implemented Commvault Cloud, powered by Metallic AI and integrated with Microsoft Azure, to create immutable, air‑gapped copies of critical data, automate protection tasks, and enable remote management. The move cut recovery time to about 8.2 hours (66% faster than the 24‑hour target) and achieved an RPO of under 22 minutes, delivering faster recovery, stronger business continuity and the scalability needed to support growth.
