Hollander Techniek Chooses Veeam for BC

Veeam Software, Inc. announces that Hollander Techniek BV, a technical integrator that specializes in collaborative and sustainable engineering solutions, has modernized its BC and DR strategy with cloud data management, reducing the cost and time IT staffs spend on managing and storing data.

Veeam simplified the IT management enabling Hollander Techniek to drive operational efficiencies and saved them more than 200 hours of manual time, allowing its IT team to spend more time adding real value to the business, while also delivering more reliable services by eliminating unplanned downtime.

Hollander Techniek installed Veeam Availability Suite and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 alongside NetApp’s HCI solution that was built-on NetApp SolidFire.

Legacy backup solutions were no longer fit-for-purpose and undermined Hollander Techniek’s BC and DR strategy. To ensure the company could meet RTOs and RPOs, it needed a solution that would strengthen its ability to minimize downtime and integrate with Azure.

“Unplanned downtime is never an option for us. Data drives everything we do and everything our customers do, so it has to be available all the time,” said Johan Logtenberg, IT project manager, Hollander Techniek. “Veeam’s backup solutions for cloud data management give us the most comprehensive data protection possible. We’ve eliminated our risk for unplanned downtime by reducing RTOs by 99% and RPOs by 75%, saving us more than 200 man hours each year and allowing the IT team to focus on adding real value to the business.“

Hollander Techniek is an engineering powerhouse that maximizes efficiency, productivity and flexibility for its customers through purpose-built engineering solutions. Unplanned downtime can be disastrous, leading to drops in productivity, reputational damage and financial loss.

Veeam backups 51TB across 86 vSphere VMs on-premises from NetApp HCI and SolidFire storage snapshots and replicates them to Azure. Integrating with NetApp, Veeam’s solution reduces RTOs from 1.5 hours to 5 seconds (99%) and RPOs from 1 hour to 15 minutes (75%).

“Businesses are looking to de-risk by investing in backup for Cloud Data Management to improve BC, accelerate DR and increase their organisational agility,” said Ronald Ooms, regional VP, Benelux, Veeam. “Veeam Availability Suite is fully compatible with cloud services such as Azure and incredible easy to use. It is the best choice available for businesses looking to invest in a digital infrastructure that drives real competitive advantage.“
