Case Study: SriLankan Airlines achieves 64% shorter backup windows and stronger business continuity with Commvault

SriLankan Airlines slashes daily backup windows up to 64% and enhances business continuity with Commvault

SriLankan Airlines, the national carrier, needed a better way to protect large volumes of operational data and meet strict audit and retention requirements. Its legacy backup process relied on offsite tapes, making recovery slow and manual, and creating challenges when responding to compliance requests. SriLankan Airlines evaluated options and chose Commvault Cloud for its backup technology, storage, and cloud integration capabilities.

Commvault implemented Commvault Cloud integrated with the airline’s Hitachi storage system to automate backups, remove tape operations, and improve data availability across on-premises workloads. As a result, SriLankan Airlines improved data management efficiency by 33%, reduced its daily Microsoft Exchange backup window by 64%, and strengthened business continuity while meeting regulatory retention requirements.
