Case Study: Pothys achieves cost-effective HANA backup on AWS with Redington

Pothys saves 50% on HANA backups with Redington

Pothys, a chain of textile showrooms in South India, faced a challenge in creating a cost-effective backup solution for their SAP HANA database running on AWS. Their main concern was the high long-term expense of using EBS snapshots, especially when considering cross-region replication for added security. They partnered with vendor Redington to find a solution.

Redington implemented a solution that used automation scripts to move database backups to Amazon S3 storage, a more durable and cost-effective service. This strategy, designed around the AWS well-architected framework, streamlined Pothys's backup operations and cut their backup storage costs by approximately 50% compared to the snapshot solution. The use of S3 also provided them with unlimited capacity and a low cost per GB/month.
