Monash University automated its data backup and recovery processes using Commvault software on AWS. This replaced an inefficient on-premises system and reduced storage costs by 93%. Commvault provided comprehensive backup and rapid recovery capabilities across Monash's hybrid cloud environment. Monash now protects over 600TB of data with only 41TB stored on AWS using Commvault's deduplication. The new system improved operational efficiency and gave Monash a scalable, cost-effective disaster recovery solution.
