Case Study: Katun Corporation achieves centralized global backup management and significant cost savings with SEP Software (SEP sesam)

Katun Corporation - Customer Case Study

Katun Corporation, the world’s largest provider of OEM parts for printers and copiers, needed a centralized, reliable and cost‑effective backup strategy after migrating field servers to Novell OES2. Their existing solution (CA ARCserve) could not meet growing requirements for nightly incremental and weekly full backups across global manufacturing sites, so Katun evaluated and selected SEP Software’s SEP sesam to provide the required remote management and restore capabilities.

SEP Software remotely deployed SEP sesam across Katun Corporation’s global operations—installing in ten countries (including Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany and France)—to enable centralized administration, single‑file and single‑mail restores, and scheduled incremental/full backups. The rollout reduced hardware and manpower needs, cut costs versus the previous solution, delivered faster recoveries, and now allows Katun to manage its entire critical data infrastructure from a single location, yielding clear economies of scale.
