Case Study: SYNNEX Corporation achieves automated global backup and rapid disaster recovery with Quantum Corporation

SYNNEX - Customer Case Study

SYNNEX Corporation, a Fortune 500 business process services and distribution company, faced rapidly growing global data across U.S., European and Asian centers that was overwhelming its legacy backup and disaster‑recovery systems. Slow restores, complex tape and FTP workflows, and strict retention requirements put data availability and development productivity at risk.

SYNNEX deployed Quantum DXi deduplication appliances with remote replication and DXi Advanced Reporting, automating backups and DR across sites. Extremely high deduplication (sending only about 2% of a 3TB database—50–100GB—over the WAN) enabled practical remote replication, cut recovery time from a day or more to a few hours, met retention needs on disk, simplified data movement between centers, and improved developer access and global visibility for IT.
