Case Study: KCC Engineering & Construction achieves 10-fold faster file backups and 90%+ deduplication with Veritas Technologies NetBackup

Accelerating File Backup 10-fold Helps Build Success with Solutions from Veritas and WIZCORE, Inc.

KCC Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd., a global construction firm based in Seoul, faced slow, risky backups of about 10 TB of critical ERP and project data—full tape backups took up to 10 hours and recoveries were slow, threatening deadlines and profitability. The IT team wanted a faster disk-to-disk-to-tape approach with deduplication to reduce storage and enable more frequent recovery points.

They deployed the Veritas NetBackup 5220 Appliance with NetBackup Accelerator and Data Protection Optimization, implemented with help from Veritas partner WIZCORE. The result: file backups became roughly 10× faster (1.5 TB from 3 hours to ~20 minutes), daily backup data shrank by >90% (20 TB to <2 TB), full tape backup time fell from 10 hours to 1 hour, RPO improved sixfold, recoveries are up to 3× faster, weekly backup administration dropped by 50%, and the project is projected to reach 100% payback in under four years.
