Case Study: Simulation Software Company achieves 50% faster backup and recovery and 67% less backup storage with Veritas Technologies NetBackup Appliances

A Simulation Software Company Cuts Backup and Recovery Times in Half and Shrinks Backup Storage by 67 Percent

A global simulation software company (about 1,200 employees) that depends on critical source code found tape-based restores increasingly unreliable and wanted to move its backup operations from tape to disk to improve recovery success and speed.

The company deployed Veritas NetBackup Appliances (plug-and-play appliances with deduplication and replication in a hub-and-spoke design). Since deployment they report 100% backup and recovery success to date, ~50% shorter backup windows, ~70% faster recoveries, 67% less backup storage enabling retention to double (3→6 months), 60% less backup administration time, and a projected full payback in under three years.
