Case Study: KEMET Corporation saves $50K–$500K in data recovery costs with CrashPlan — reported by TechValidate

KEMET Corporation selects CrashPlan, saves $50K in data recovery costs

KEMET Corporation, an S&P 500 electronics company, faced frequent endpoint data loss from lost or stolen laptops and hard drive crashes. Reliance on manual USB backups drained IT resources and reduced employee productivity, and a calculated high cost per lost device drove the need for a dependable endpoint backup solution.

KEMET deployed CrashPlan in a hybrid cloud configuration (on‑premises plus Code42’s public cloud) to replace manual backups. Since implementation they report $50,000–$500,000 saved in endpoint data‑recovery costs, 11–25 fewer IT hours spent per week on backup/restore tasks, and improved reliability, security/privacy and lower overall costs associated with data loss.
