WorldVue Cuts Backup and Restore Times to Minutes with Object First

Introduction

WorldVue is a hospitality technology provider, delivering video, data, and connectivity services to more than 8,000 hotels and over a million rooms globally. WorldVue needed fast, scalable backup storage that could keep pace with rising data volumes and long retention requirements—leading it to work with Object First.

Challenges

• Under-sized storage: The previous appliance was provisioned below WorldVue's needs, straining the environment and making retention targets hard to meet.
• Backup failures: Capacity limits were reached, jobs failed, and the number of concurrent backups the team could run was constrained.
• Slow restores: A split-data-plane architecture limited recovery speed for 170 VMs and 50 TB of data.

Solution

Object First's S3-compatible object storage architecture delivered the security, speed, performance, and reliability WorldVue needed for its extensive data requirements

Results

• Absolute Immutability: Ransomware-resilient backups reassure the major hotel brands WorldVue serves.
• Faster backup and restore: Backups and restores now finish fast enough to meet two-hour backup windows across 170 VMs.
• Room to scale: A 210 TB appliance supports retention of up to four years against current usage of 50 TB.
• Proven recovery: The solution has already enabled two successful real-world restores since deployment.
• Set-and-forget simplicity: Near-zero day-to-day management frees the IT team for higher-value work.
