Case Study: a leading telecommunications infrastructure and equipment provider achieves 25%–30% lower TCO with HCLTech backup modernization

A Leading Telecommunications Infrastructure and Equipment Provider cuts backup TCO 25%–30% with HCL

A leading telecommunications infrastructure and equipment provider faced security, scalability, and management challenges with its legacy 3.5 PB backup environment, which lacked ransomware protection and could not adequately support its hybrid on-prem and AWS cloud workloads. HCLTech was engaged to modernize this backup estate and implement a more efficient architecture.

HCLTech modernized the environment by categorizing applications based on criticality and deploying a new backup architecture across on-prem and cloud infrastructure. This solution improved protection and recovery readiness, streamlined operations, and reduced the total cost of ownership by 25-30%. Additional results included a 20-25% reduction in operational effort and significantly faster backup times.
