Commvault deploys Commvault HyperScale for Emirates Steel

Commvault has announced that Emirates Steel has implemented Commvault HyperScale to support its digitalization ambitions and safeguard its manufacturing operations.

Emirates Steel is wholly government owned. At full capacity, its 11 plants produce 3.5 million tons of steel products, such as sheets, beams, and reinforced bars, every year for the construction industry. The company’s digitalization efforts include moving its SAP modules to the cloud through Microsoft public cloud solutions.

Mohammed Azam, IT Infrastructure Head at Emirates Steel, says, “Backup was a challenge with underlying technology scattered across different environments and running on aging Dell hardware. I initially liked Rubrik’s simple interface but realized, at the Commvault GO event, that Commvault HyperScale proved a more effective solution with an interface that was just as user-friendly but with the critical difference that we installed it easily and it works perfectly across our complex environment.”

Commvault HyperScale and Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery protect 400 terabytes of data hosted across SAP systems, and including SQL databases, email archives, and 20 virtual machines.

Two Commvault HyperScale clusters replicate data between the company’s data center and disaster recovery site to provide robust business continuity capabilities.

Commvault also helps accelerate Emirates Steel’s digital roadmap by making it simple to add new services and data sets. “Any disruption to our operational systems and the production of steel would have a national impact. By maximizing data availability, we can boost efficiency and safeguard the manufacturing supply chain,” concluded Azam.

Wael Mustafa, Area Vice President Middle East, South Africa & Turkey at Commvault, says, “We are proud to expand our longstanding relationship with Emirates Steel by adding our latest HyperScale functionality and flexibility. Our HyperScale solutions are offering increased data availability and business continuation assurance to many of the largest organizations across the region.”
