Case Study: Cycorp achieves 50% reduction in data storage costs with Quest (NetVault Backup & SmartDisk)

AI Company Saves 50 Percent On Data Storage Costs

Cycorp, a 30‑year‑old AI company that builds software with human‑like reasoning, faced mounting storage limits and backup risk as its large, memory‑intensive datasets grew. Storage became a company‑wide bottleneck, threatening retention, sharing and timely recoverability of vital R&D data.

Cycorp migrated to a virtualized environment and deployed NetVault Backup with NetVault SmartDisk deduplication on its own servers. The solution delivered about a 6:1 dedupe ratio, cut total storage costs by roughly 50% (saving tens of thousands of dollars), provided four weeks of online retention, faster restores and scalable, reliable data protection.
