Case Study: KT (Korean ICT leader) halves backup time and accelerates recovery with Veritas Technologies NetBackup Appliances

KT Uses Veritas NetBackup™ Appliances to Cut Backup Time in Half on Key Servers

KT, a leading South Korean information and communications company, built an 11,000‑seat IP contact center to improve multi‑channel customer service and needed to guarantee that critical data would be available, backed up, and quickly recoverable to avoid service disruptions. The scale and virtualized nature of the environment made fast, reliable backups and rapid recovery a top operational priority.

KT deployed Veritas NetBackup Appliances—leveraging NetBackup Accelerator, deduplication, and virtual‑aware policies—to cut backup windows from several hours to under one hour for key servers, enable immediate recovery during hard‑disk failures, and reduce hardware and operational costs by eliminating point deduplication and tape solutions. The success has prompted plans to expand replication across centers for improved disaster recovery.
