Case Study: Nokia Shanghai Bell achieves 17 million yuan savings in 5 years with Veritas Technologies' Enterprise Vault

Nokia Shanghai Bell reduces TCO by US$2.5M with Veritas Enterprise Vault

Nokia Shanghai Bell, a 15,000‑employee joint venture and Nokia’s exclusive operating platform in China, needed to consolidate legacy IT after a major merger and bring roughly 14,000 Office 365 mailboxes from Azure into a local data center to meet Chinese compliance and auditing requirements. The sheer volume of email—about 100 TB of data—made a straight local Exchange deployment impractical, so the IT team sought a cost‑effective, scalable way to retain user experience while meeting governance rules.

Nokia Shanghai Bell deployed Veritas Enterprise Vault to archive and manage more than 100 TB of mail data on premises, providing fast access to archived messages, auditability, and flexible cold‑data management. The solution met compliance needs, supported future growth, and reduced total maintenance costs by 17 million yuan (approximately US$2.5M) over five years while simplifying mailbox management and access.
