Case Study: Serbian Ministry of Environmental Protection achieves centralized data protection and 70% less backup time with Commvault

The Serbian Ministry of Environmental Protection Simplifies Data Protection with Commvault

The Belgrade-based Serbian Ministry of Environmental Protection, responsible for digitalizing citizen services, needed to secure data across a dispersed workforce of about 330 employees and 80 remote workers in 22 locations. The IT team faced the challenge of meeting national compliance, protecting a variety of devices and servers (Windows, Linux, Mac, mobile, SQL, Exchange, file servers), reducing time spent on backups, and ensuring a scalable solution for future growth.

Working with partner Fractal Dimension, the Ministry deployed Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery as a single, centralized platform—implemented in six weeks—to protect on‑premises and remote assets. The solution’s deduplication cut storage needs by ~80%, IT time on backups fell by 70%, users can self-restore and admins manage restores remotely, and the scalable, user‑friendly system streamlined operations and improved collaboration.
