Crown Worldwide Group Data Protection Case Study

This case study outlines the data protection challenges faced by Crown Worldwide Group, a global logistics company, and the solutions implemented to address these issues. The company managed its IT infrastructure across three data centers and previously relied on a tape backup system, which became inefficient and unreliable. The transition to a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup process through Arcserve did not provide the necessary centralized visibility or management. The challenges included performance issues with data backups, insufficient business continuity planning (BCP) technology, and the lack of a cloud-native solution. The company adopted Druva's backup-as-a-service, which provided a single pane of glass for managing data across its locations, significantly improving data recovery times and achieving notable deduplication storage savings. The implementation of Druva has enhanced the company's cyber resilience and compliance with GDPR, facilitating better management of personally identifiable information (PII). The case study concludes with plans for further data protection enhancements and the integration of additional software-as-a-service applications.
