How a manufacturer reduced IT effort through cloud-based data management

Vaultastic replaced on-premise NAS with an automated, elastic cloud archive that safeguarded data, simplified retrieval, and freed teams to focus on core initiatives.

About the Company

Location: India
Industry: Manufacturing (sheet metal components and assemblies)
Users: 500+
Data volume: 5 TB legacy email, 10 TB+ live data
Operations: Multiple plants and offices located throughout India
Existing systems: On-premise NAS

Why now?

As teams scaled and volumes of data grew, it created data retention challenges, putting operational continuity and data access at risk.

The Difference Vaultastic Made

Before Vaultastic

  • On-premise NAS grew to 10 TB in 3 years, consuming costly local storage
  • Emails stored in raw format with no indexing, required IT staff to manually search
  • Data security exposed to frequent power cuts, hardware failures, and local disruptions
  • Storage and backup required constant IT monitoring, patching, and maintenance
  • High annual spend on NAS hardware expansion, maintenance, and recovery processes

After Vaultastic

  • Elastic cloud archive scaled seamlessly, eliminating storage constraints and planning overhead
  • Automated indexing and full-text eDiscovery enabled precise, self-service retrieval in seconds
  • Independent, tamper-proof cloud storage protected against outages, corruption, and accidental loss
  • Zero-management SaaS platform with automated upgrades, reducing IT workload to near zero
  • Over 60% savings (~USD 10K annually) with Vaultastic’s pay-per-use cloud model

Lack of centralized oversight was exposing the business to risk

On-premise NAS storage inflated costs and required constant oversight

Frequent power cuts risked permanent data loss

Retrieval delays slowed projects and created accountability gaps

IT bandwidth tied up in routine data management instead of strategic initiatives

Behind the results: How targeted implementation drove business-level change

Migrated legacy data to a centralized store, eliminating fragmented information record-keeping and making information readily accessible
