Case Study: Andritz Inc. achieves centralized global data protection and faster, tape-free restores with Druva Phoenix (Druva)

Andritz Powers Up Global Data Protection With Druva

Andritz, a global supplier of equipment and services for hydropower, pulp & paper, metalworking and separation industries with over 25,000 employees across 200 offices, struggled with a decentralized, tape-based backup system. The company faced data privacy and regional residency concerns, rising storage costs, unreliable restores, time-consuming manual verification (about 70 hours per month), and no central visibility into backups.

Druva Phoenix replaced the legacy tape workflow with a cloud-native, centrally managed solution that used bandwidth throttling for remote sites and automated archival and lifecycle management. The result: all 200 offices are centrally visible and managed, restores that once took hours or days now complete in seconds, verification time dropped dramatically (to about 30 minutes per day), and Andritz gained improved disaster recovery, compliance alignment, and lower cost and complexity.
