Case Study: Fortune 100 Financial Services Company achieves automated, multi-cloud Backup-as-a-Service and order-of-magnitude cost and operational savings with CTERA Networks

Fortune 100 Financial Services Company Launches Hybrid Cloud Backup-as-a-Service with CTERA

A Fortune 100 insurance and asset-management firm undertaking a CloudOps transformation needed an API-driven, multi-tenant backup service that could span multiple IaaS and hypervisor providers. Traditional enterprise backup tools proved too costly, inflexible, and undependable for the organization’s goals for automation, cross-cloud recovery, WAN optimization, deduplication and strict security/data-sovereignty requirements.

The firm deployed CTERA’s Enterprise File Services to power an internal Backup-as-a-Service across AWS, Azure and OpenStack. CTERA’s agent-based, WAN‑optimized platform with global deduplication and native object‑storage support integrates into the IT service catalog for fully automated provisioning, tenant isolation and encrypted recovery—cutting storage costs to roughly one‑tenth of traditional appliances and delivering an order‑of‑magnitude improvement in cost and operational efficiency.
