Case Study: Trustmark National Bank achieves real-time backup visibility and nearly $80K annual savings with Veritas Technologies' APTARE IT Analytics

Ensuring Reliable Access to Customer Data with APTARE IT Analytics

Trustmark National Bank, a regional bank serving communities across the Southeast, faced scaling challenges as it grew: decentralized, manual backup and recovery processes relied on spreadsheet tracking of IBM TSM output, making auditing and compliance slow and consuming significant staff time—about 40 hours of reporting—thereby limiting resources for strategic work and risking data availability needed for personalized customer service.

The bank implemented APTARE IT Analytics to automatically monitor nightly backups (6–8 TB) and provide a web-based, real-time view of the data protection environment. The change cut reporting time by roughly 90% (from ~40 to ~4 hours), enabled a move to tapeless backups, ensured SOX compliance and faster remediation of failed jobs, and delivered nearly $80,000 in anticipated annual savings through reduced hardware costs and recovered productivity.
