Case Study: Fortune 100 Oil & Gas Company achieves lower storage costs and transparent, seamless file access with Komprise

Fortune 100 Oil & Gas Company - Customer Case Study

Fortune 100 Oil & Gas Company was managing petabytes of NFS and SMB/CIFS data after growth and consolidation and faced a corporate mandate to modernize IT, reduce storage costs, and drive consumption of object storage without disrupting file-based access. They engaged Komprise and its Komprise data management software to identify cold seismic and legacy data and transparently archive it to on‑premise object storage while preserving native file access for users and applications.

Komprise deployed its data-aware management software to provide visibility across storage, profile hot and cold data, and set policies (with exclusions) to move inactive data to object storage and create low‑cost disaster‑recovery copies. Using Komprise, the company quantified cost savings, shrank its actively managed storage and backup footprint, maintained uninterrupted user/application access, and gained controls to throttle cloud retrievals to manage ongoing costs.
