Case Study: Albireo Energy achieves 3-day ransomware recovery and 50% cost reduction with Druva

Albireo Energy Recovers from Ransomware in 3 Days and Reduces Costs by 50% with Druva

Albireo Energy, a smart‑building solutions provider operating across 25 locations, faced a hybrid IT challenge: cloud workloads were managed by an MSP but many on‑premises file services, NAS, applications and VMs were backed by Veeam (which lacked cloud-based backup) or not backed at all. The infrastructure manager even had to transport ten 5 TB backup drives home nightly, creating restore delays and risk — vulnerabilities that were exposed when the company was hit by the Conti ransomware.

Following a POC with CDW, Albireo deployed the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, a SaaS platform with centralized management, immutable air‑gapped backups and zero‑trust security. The result: fast recovery from the attack (80% of servers restored within one business day and full recovery in three days), about 95% greater backup-management efficiency, roughly 50% lower TCO, elimination of on‑site hardware and software maintenance, and improved storage efficiency (2.2x global deduplication).
