Case Study: Advania achieves faster, simpler cyber-resilient backup and recovery with VAST Data

Advania Elevates Cyber Resilience with the VAST Data Platform

Advania, a leading Scandinavian and UK IT provider, faced significant challenges with its previous open-source, hard-drive-based storage system. The solution struggled with manageability, performance, and cost at a multi-petabyte scale, making it difficult to deliver efficient and resilient data protection services to their enterprise clients against threats like ransomware. To address this, Advania partnered with VAST Data to implement the VAST Data Platform.

By deploying the VAST Data Platform with its DASE architecture, Advania replaced its complex infrastructure, enabling clients to write backup data directly via the S3 protocol. This solution from VAST Data dramatically simplified operations, accelerated recovery speeds by at least 3x, and reduced the data center footprint for backup by 50-75%. The platform also provided superior cyber resilience with features like immutable snapshots, allowing Advania to offer faster, more secure, and cost-effective managed services.
