Case Study: Katz Media Group achieves 5X faster AWS migration and cloud-native protection for 125 VMs with Druva

Katz Media Group replaces legacy solutions with Druva and gains confidence in the cloud

Katz Media Group, America’s largest media representation company, struggled with a fragmented, aging backup environment using Veritas NetBackup, Veeam, and Dell EMC Data Domain to protect 125 VMs and 50 physical servers across 16 locations. Performance problems, manual processes, costly refresh cycles, and upgrade complexity left IT wary of moving to the cloud even as the company sought a simpler, scalable subscription model.

Katz standardized on Druva (inSync and Phoenix), replacing legacy solutions with a single cloud-native platform centrally managed from one control plane. The move enabled one-click DR and file-level recovery, cut IT backup management time by roughly 50%, protected 125 VMs, and accelerated cloud migration—lifting 52 production workloads into AWS in three months (about 5X faster), while enabling ongoing cost and operations efficiencies.
