Case Study: Crown Worldwide Group achieves 48x faster restores and 2.6x global deduplication storage savings with Druva

Crown Worldwide Group secures business critical data across three data centers with Druva

Crown Worldwide Group, a Hong Kong–headquartered global logistics company, operated critical applications across three data centers (Hong Kong, London, Sydney) on hundreds of VMware VMs and on-prem file servers. Its legacy tape and Arcserve D2D2T backups became time-consuming, unreliable, and regionally siloed—producing inconsistent disk performance, slow recoveries that could take days, no centralized visibility, and a requirement for hardware the IT team didn’t want to buy or manage as it moved to a cloud-first strategy.

Crown deployed Druva’s cloud-native backup-as-a-service to provide a single pane of glass for geographically dispersed teams, end-to-end encryption, and centralized management of VM and file-server protection. The solution delivered 48x faster restores versus Arcserve, 2.6x global deduplication storage savings, 100% visibility aiding GDPR compliance, eliminated hardware overhead, and strengthened business continuity (including remote recovery during COVID-19).
