Case Study: Global Aluminum Manufacturing Company achieves faster, simpler cloud backup with HCL BackupNXT

Global Aluminum Manufacturer Company - Customer Case Study

HCL Technologies partnered with a global aluminum manufacturing company that faced challenges with its outdated, labor-intensive disk-to-disk-to-tape backup processes across 30 remote sites. The customer needed a modern solution to reduce complexity and cost while improving data protection and meeting strict service level agreements.

HCL's solution, called BackupNXT and built on NetApp AltaVault appliances, replaced the tape-based system with a cloud-integrated approach. The implementation resulted in a 30% reduction in backup costs, a 35% decrease in annual support costs, and a 50% reduction in management time. The solution also provided faster, more secure backups and laid the foundation for a full rollout to all remote sites.
