reduced backup and recovery times

The pay-as-you-grow model is perfect for our needs, and offers real competitive value from a management point of view. With Cohesity, our IT team is able to concentrate on applications and availability for our customers, not on backup and restore. Cohesity’s technology and its ease of use convinced us to change providers. We are very happy with our new system and we are looking to expand the number of VMs backed up by Cohesity.

Dr. Frank Wallow, Department Head, IT Production, WestLotto

At a Glance

German lottery provider consolidates secondary data and dramatically reduces administrative overhead.

Challenge

The largest German lottery provider needed to alleviate the complexity of its legacy backup and recovery solution and reduce rising costs.

Solution

WestLotto deployed four Cohesity C2500 hyperconverged node appliances in each of its data centers. Cohesity supports deduplication across workloads that run on Linux / Window VMs (vSphere) and physical servers that are consolidated on Cohesity DataPlatform. Cohesity test/dev capabilities accelerate new app development.

Result

WestLotto reduced the recovery time for a mission-critical gaming transaction server (1.5 TB Linux VM) by up to 98 percent—from 24+ hours to a little more than 15 minutes. IT can now concentrate on applications and availability for customers, not backup and restore.
