Case Study: US Federal Agency cuts AWS costs and frees IT time with Commvault

US Federal Agency frees 25% of IT time with Commvault

A US federal agency faced significant challenges preparing for a cloud migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS) while simultaneously struggling with the complex and time-consuming process of fulfilling Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Their incumbent backup solution was costly and difficult to manage. To address this, they turned to Commvault for its data management solutions, including Commvault Cloud Compliance and Commvault Cloud Autonomous Recovery.

By implementing Commvault, the agency automated its backup and recovery processes, simplifying its entire data management infrastructure. The use of Commvault Cloud Compliance allowed them to efficiently search for and export records for FOIA requests, enabling them to delegate this task and free up an estimated 25% of the IT team's time. Furthermore, Commvault helped the agency shrink its cloud footprint by hundreds of terabytes, leading to considerably lower AWS costs and a more secure, properly classified data environment ahead of their migration.
