Case Study: Almac achieves faster, centralized backup and disaster recovery with OpenText Data Protector

Data Protector creates consistent infrastructure design to streamline backup strategy and maintain full regulatory compliance

Almac needed to replace local tape-based backup setups that added capital costs, required local IT support, and complicated change control across sites. The company turned to OpenText Data Protector to standardize and centralize its backup strategy while maintaining disaster recovery and compliance across its 24/7 operations.

OpenText implemented Data Protector with StoreOnce Catalyst replication to HQ, giving Almac centralized management, reporting, and secure backup completion even over low bandwidth. The results included cutting backup times in half, with a full duplicated backup now completed in 35 hours despite data growth to over 110TB, while also reducing infrastructure footprint, eliminating tape-related costs, and significantly improving backup success rates.
