Case Study: Steelcase achieves rapid, reliable global data recovery with Veritas Technologies' NetBackup

Data Protection Relationship Built over Time

Steelcase, the world’s largest office furniture manufacturer based in Grand Rapids with about 11,500 employees, needed a reliable, fast way to protect global systems and minimize operational impact from cyber events and natural disasters. Facing a multi‑region IT transformation and diverse workloads, the company required a centralized, low‑TCO data protection and disaster‑recovery strategy that was easy to deploy and manage worldwide.

Steelcase refreshed its infrastructure with Veritas NetBackup, NetBackup Appliances and Enterprise Vault, using centralized management, APIs and automation (including NetBackup AIR) to streamline backups, replication and restores. The result: recovery times reduced from weeks to days, hundreds of terabytes reliably restored when needed, lower administrative effort through automation and centralized control, and greater confidence in business continuity and regulatory compliance.
