Case Study: Whitestar Asset Solutions achieves 300% data growth support, near‑100% recovery and faster eDiscovery with Veritas Technologies' NetBackup and Enterprise Vault

Whitestar Uses Veritas NetBackup™ and Enterprise Vault™ to Support 300 Percent Data Growth in a Year

Whitestar Asset Solutions, a Lisbon-based loan servicing firm with about 750 employees, faced rapid growth and multiple acquisitions that exploded its data footprint (300% growth to ~25 TB in a year) while its existing backup was unreliable and unable to support diverse platforms, migrations, compliance or fast eDiscovery. The team needed a scalable, multi-platform backup and archiving strategy that wouldn’t lengthen backup windows or increase risk from scattered PSTs and regulatory requirements.

Whitestar deployed Veritas NetBackup Appliances and Veritas Enterprise Vault to centralize backup and archiving. Results included backup success rising to 98% (from 60%) and recovery to virtually 100% (from 35%); an estimated 750 IT staff hours saved per year via granular recoveries; 300% data growth handled without extending the backup window; ~70% reduction in archive storage; faster eDiscovery (hours instead of days); €7,000–€30,000+ annual storage/TCO savings; and full payback on NetBackup in 18 months and Enterprise Vault in 6–12 months.
