Case Study: Repsol Sinopec Resources UK achieves backup consolidation and frees IT staff for innovation with Veritas Technologies' NetBackup and Flex Appliances

Efficient backups enable IT staff to better support their energy-sector business

Repsol Sinopec Resources UK Ltd., an oil-and-gas exploration and production company operating in the U.K. North Sea, faced a fragmented IT environment that hindered innovation. A small IT team supporting 11 offshore platforms and two onshore terminals was juggling four different backup solutions from multiple vendors, complicating the company’s move to Microsoft 365 and Azure and making standardized data protection a priority.

The company consolidated backups onto Veritas NetBackup and deployed Veritas Flex Appliances in its production and disaster‑recovery sites, replacing multiple tools with a single platform. This simplified management with a single pane of glass, shortened backup windows, reduced server load and vendor sprawl, freed IT staff for more innovative work, and improved confidence and agility in protecting both onshore and offshore data as the cloud transition continues.
