MultiChoice Group Data Protection Case Study

This case study details the collaboration between MultiChoice Group and Datacentrix to enhance data protection against ransomware threats. MultiChoice, a leading broadcaster in Africa, faced challenges with its legacy data protection solution, which resulted in failed backups and concerns about system availability. To address these issues, MultiChoice engaged Datacentrix for a comprehensive needs assessment and solution selection process. They opted for Veritas NetBackup, which consolidates data backup across on-premises and cloud environments, providing a streamlined management approach. The new infrastructure allows MultiChoice to back up more systems efficiently while reducing management time significantly. The case study outlines the successful deployment of the Veritas solution, which has improved backup success rates and reduced operational overhead. MultiChoice now benefits from enhanced data protection capabilities, including the ability to recover from potential ransomware attacks effectively. The collaboration has resulted in a more resilient data protection strategy that supports the company's expansive operations across Africa.
