Case Study: Veolia achieves faster restores, 50% shorter backups and lower TCO with Veritas Technologies' NetBackup on AWS

Using Veritas NetBackup™ and Amazon Web Services to build business agility

Veolia, a Paris‑based global environmental services firm, decided to close its on‑premises data centers and migrate data and applications to Amazon Web Services to reduce costs and increase agility. With mission‑critical financial and proposal data at stake—and after a prior unrecoverable data loss—the company needed a reliable, easy‑to‑manage cloud backup solution that would minimize staff time and protect business continuity.

Veolia deployed Veritas NetBackup 8.1 on AWS (using NetBackup AMIs and Amazon S3/Glacier/EBS) to protect its migrating environment. Backups now run about 50% faster and restores complete in seconds or minutes instead of hours or days; staff spend far less time on data protection, and Veolia projects a 30–40% reduction in data‑protection TCO while gaining greater operational agility.
