Case Study: Sodvin-Fagdata (Norwegian MSP) cuts data storage costs 75% and accelerates backups with Quest QoreStor

Sodvin-Fagdata cuts data storage costs by 75% and accelerates backups

Sodvin‑Fagdata is a Norwegian managed service provider (part of the Sodvin Group) supporting about 300 customers from SMBs to municipalities. As their client base grew to roughly 500 TB of protected data, the MSP faced poor backup performance, congestion on receiving systems, bad scaling options and rising storage costs, forcing a need to modernize its Backup-as-a-Service with a low‑TCO, flexible secondary storage solution.

They deployed Quest QoreStor, a software‑defined, platform‑agnostic secondary storage layer that adds compression and deduplication to existing backup workflows (used with HYCU on Nutanix in their environment). QoreStor cut data storage costs by 75%, significantly accelerated backups, reduced management time to almost zero and gave the company flexible replication and cloud options to expand its backup and disaster‑recovery services.
