Case Study: Yapı Kredi achieves regulatory compliance and faster, more efficient data protection with Veritas Technologies

Yapı Kredi strengthens regulatory compliance and boosts data protection efficiency with Veritas Access Appliances

Yapı Kredi, the third-largest private bank in Turkey, was managing about 9 PB of data and faced strict regulatory retention requirements of 1–20 years. Its tape-based long-term retention system was inefficient, energy- and space-intensive, prone to physical degradation, and increasingly time-consuming to manage—creating operational strain and exposing the bank to compliance risk.

The bank replaced tapes with a pair of Veritas Access Appliances (integrated with Veritas NetBackup and Enterprise Vault) and automated replication to a disaster-recovery site, migrating secondary backups to disk. The move sped up restores, delivered 100% recovery success, cut staff time and tape-storage needs, reduced power consumption by ~20%, and all but eliminated long-term retention compliance risk.
