Alpine Bau GmbH

Alpine Bau’s construction projects are built to last for centuries. And so too is its data, now that the company uses Veritas NetBackup PureDisk software from Symantec to protect up to 14 terabytes of data across 100 remote construction sites and offices. But it’s not any old data protection solution. Taking advantage of deduplication technology, PureDisk reduces the size of Alpine Bau’s Windows and Linux backups before any data even leaves the sites—by a factor of 3.4. The centrally managed solution—chosen after a detailed proof of concept which included EMC—has reduced the daily backup operation from four hours to 15 minutes. Altogether, it’s saving the company $91,000 annually in reduced resources, improved productivity, and the elimination of local backup hardware.
