EPC company builds protected, accessible data store with Veritas NetBackup™ and Azure.

Challenge

As the IT team at GS E&C considered how to update its data protection systems, it wanted to wean itself off tape management, utilize newly accessible cloud services, and lay the foundations for better data access to support analytics.

Solution

A NetBackup™ Appliance at the company headquarters backs up all of their data. At the same time, NetBackup deduplicates, cleanses, and encrypts a subset of data bound for archival in the Azure cloud.

Outcome

The automated backup in disk-based storage is saving the IT team time and money. Also, the ability to securely store, recover, and retrieve data—either from the cloud or from the on-premises NetBackup server—has opened up new paths for data-driven processes within the company.
