Data protection and cybersecurity in one solution

The case study describes how Tata Steel Downstream Products, modernises its backup infrastructure with Acronis Cyber Protect. Doing so increased protected workloads by 50x and improved RTO and RPO from five and seven days, respectively, to 4-6 hours and one day or less.

Tata Steel Downstream Products(TSDPL) is a 100% subsidiary of Tata Steel, which is part of the Tata Group. TSDPL was created to bring steel service centre solutions to industrial customers and is the first organised steel service centre capable of high tensile steel processing in India.

The company has 10 large processing units, 14 sales and distribution locations throughout the country, along with a very large partner ecosystem of external processing agencies and suppliers. Despite a sophisticated IT infrastructure designed to support its nationwide supply chain, TSDPL was operating with an antiquated approach to backup. Users were performing manual backups and saving files in shared folders or external hard drives. In the event of a workstation failure or data loss incident, as users did not do regularly scheduled backups, RPO averaged seven days.

Key challenge: Larger RPOs
