Case Study: CxLink Backup Reduces Cloud Storage Costs by 10X
Key Takeaways
⇨ Syntax's implementation of CxLink Backup reduced SAP backup time by two-thirds and achieved a 10X reduction in storage costs.
⇨ CxLink Backup streamlined Syntax's SAP backup process by consolidating multiple backup routines into a single, efficient solution, enhancing operational efficiency.
⇨ The internal proof of concept validated CxLink Backup as an enterprise-grade, cloud-native solution for SAP workloads, leading to its adoption as Syntax's flagship backup option for SAP managed services customers.
Syntax wanted to implement CxLink Backup for its SAP managed services customers as a solution that is more cost-efficient than traditional snapshots. Before such a rollout, Syntax chose to do an internal proof of concept (POC) with its own SAP systems to confirm that the solution was Enterprise grade for SAP workloads. An internal implementation would also allow Syntax to quantify the storage cost savings, time savings, and other benefits vs. traditional backup solutions for SAP on the public cloud. Finally, the POC would shine the light on ways to innovate the tool in the future, helping customers even more.
