Case Study: Atlantic Container Line achieves 160x faster VM backups and 50% lower TCO with Druva

Atlantic Container Line replaces Veritas with Druva to protect Oracle and VM data

Atlantic Container Line (ACL), a global leader in container and RORO shipping, was struggling with an on‑premises backup setup based on Veritas NetBackup that required costly hardware upgrades, left backups on the same servers as workloads, and failed to reliably protect SAP VMs and Microsoft 365 data. Attempts to get SAP VM backups working took eight months and external consultants, while employee portable drives and manual email backups created compliance and ransomware risks.

After a successful POC, ACL replaced Veritas with the Druva Cloud Platform to protect Oracle ODAs, VMware VMs, and Microsoft 365 from a single pane of glass with truly isolated cloud copies. The switch delivered dramatic results: VM backups that took months with Veritas ran in four hours (160x faster), time spent managing backups fell by 93%, and total cost of ownership dropped by 50%, while reducing on‑prem footprint and restoring cyber resilience and compliance.
