CASE STUDY
Recovery ( DR ) strategies , fast-tracks data protection for multi-cloud ecosystems and offers additional ransomware resilience .
“ Veeam is our guarantee that data will be available when we need it ,” Prieto said . “ Veeam has our back – it ’ s absolutely core to Business Continuity , so as we move more backups to the cloud , Veeam has us covered .”
Veeam backs up 72 TBs of data across 240 VMs to ExaGrid , which replicates to a DR site . CDI ’ s DR strategies include Veeam DataLabs to verify recovery of backups and replicas ( SureBackup and SureReplica ) and Instant VM Recovery to restore in minutes . In addition , Veeam creates immutable backups in Amazon S3 storage for additional ransomware protection .
Veeam also backs up and protects 14 TBs of data in Microsoft 365 ( OneDrive , SharePoint , Teams and Exchange ) to an on-premises ExaGrid repository , which replicates to a DR site for additional protection .
And , Veeam sends backup data to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage and Amazon S3 , allowing for protection , security and resiliency of data in longterm , low-cost object storage .
“ It ’ s so much easier to restore 365 data from a Veeam backup rather than risk our data not being available in Microsoft ’ s cloud ,” Prieto said . “ For example , if an employee deletes items before leaving the company , we might need access to those items later . Veeam makes it easy to find and restore them quickly .”
Prieto said Veeam makes applying for cybersecurity insurance easy too .
“ Our insurance company loves knowing we use Veeam for data protection ,” Prieto said . “ When we first approached them and they asked us what we use for backup , we said Veeam . They said , ‘ Oh yes , you ’ re in very good shape .’” p
