Commvault Data Management: Reduce Costs and Save Time

Now more than ever, IT professionals are being asked to do more with less. You are implementing new technology to improve customer service, drive product innovation, and deliver better financial results – all while minimizing risk, securing your organization’s infrastructure, and lowering costs.

And while 59%¹ of IT budgets are increasing, there is still a need to reduce overall costs while increasing efficiencies. So how do you balance these demands? Choosing the right data management strategy and platform can make all the difference in the world.

Read on to learn how Commvault customers are finding cost and time savings by implementing data protection best practices.

Consolidate disparate data management tools and save on licensing costs

After acquiring companies and making technology changes, syncreon, a global supply chain solution provider, had multiple tools with separate licensing methods, which made it difficult to manage and predict licensing costs. By replacing six tools with a single Commvault solution, they saved nearly $500,000 in licensing costs. Centralized licensing allows syncreon to easily plan budget and quickly respond to compliance requests.

“We now have greater visibility of our overall data protection process and have improved team productivity.” – John Gallagher, Senior Manager, Global IT, Enterprise Systems and Cloud.

Reduce administrative time with centralized data management

Morrison Hershfield chose Commvault Complete™ Data Protection when it was time to replace its tape-based system with digital media, resulting in a 90% decrease in backup management time. More recently, the firm chose Metallic® SaaS Backup & Recovery to expand coverage to cloud data, including Azure and Microsoft 365. By combining Commvault Complete™ Data Protection plus Metallic, the firm can protect and manage their unstructured data alongside Microsoft 365 and Azure in a single place. Now the team can efficiently manage on-premises and cloud data concurrently, freeing up their time to focus on more strategic projects.

“With Commvault, it’s just one platform,” he said. “I don’t have to go to a different interface to manage storage, schedules, or securities. Removing that complexity brings a whole lot of cost reduction for us.” – Robert Welsford, IT Manager, Morrison Hershfield

Reduce storage costs

“The deduplication and compression features with Commvault reduced storage consumption size by 35% and lowered storage costs by US$300,000 annually.” Girish Sharma, Senior General Manager, Products & Services, NTT-Netmagic

Using Commvault software, NTT-Netmagic cut their backup window time from two days to just eight hours. It also improved the overall resources management efficiency by 40% with a single data management platform.

Lower costs with the broadest workload protection

Harel Group uses Commvault software to protect over 1.5PB of data in its on-premises environment. Over the past two years, the company moved part of its infrastructure to Microsoft Azure, including Microsoft 365, and needed to ensure the data in the cloud could be protected and rapidly recovered as easily and reliably as their on-premises data. Adopting Metallic’s Microsoft 365 Backup and Metallic®Recovery Reserve™ cloud storage was a logical move. Within weeks, Harel Group was protecting thousands of mailboxes and driving on-premises storage to the cloud, which helped minimize infrastructure costs and reduce the risk of ransomware attacks.

“The simplicity and scalability of Commvault and Metallic solutions empower us to protect diverse workloads via a single pane of glass without deploying multiple applications.”- David Ben-Eli, System IT Infrastructure Manager, Harel Insurance

Start Saving Time and Money with Efficient Data Management

Choosing the right data management strategy and platform is critical to success. Utilizing one platform to support the broadest set of workloads, from cloud to on-premises to edge, with the flexibility to turn on multiple data services as needed and to purchase it as software or as a service enables you to evolve for the future while earning a significant return on investment along the way.
