ArcelorMittal Bremen uses OpenText Data Protector as an efficient and reliable way to back up most of its business data!

The organization needed a reliable way to back up all its data, across various media.

To ensure continuous steel production, the plants must aim to be always available. This principle of continuous availability extends to its information technology (IT) systems and data. The company’s data must be regularly and reliably stored to support the operation of its production plants.

The complex and heterogeneous IT environment has made it vital to have an enterprise-grade solution that is capable of efficiently backing up data across all the company’s systems.

ArcelorMittal Bremen has been using Data Protector as its centralized and largely automated backup solution for more than 20 years. The company’s backup environment is managed by an external IT service provider and ArcelorMittal Bremen uses another provider for related support and in-depth technical expertise.

With Data Protector, ArcelorMittal Bremen has been able to back up its data regularly according to the requirements of each of the company’s specialist departments. It has also been able to manage a strategy covering full incremental backups, retention periods, and backup times.

More importantly, Data Protector has allowed ArcelorMittal Bremen to back up data from different sources and environments. These include about 400 physical and 90 logical partitions in its IBM AIX environment and 570 virtual machines in its VMware environment as well as 120 databases.

Outcome: Enabled the backup of data from about 400 physical servers and 90 logical partitions in the company’s IBM AIX environment and 570 virtual machines.
