Case Study: VEKA AG boosts on-time deliveries with IBM ProtecTIER backup acceleration

VEKA AG boosts customer satisfaction with on-time deliveries

VEKA AG, a leading producer of PVC window and door profiles, faced a challenge with escalating data volumes that were causing long backup times for its business-critical SAP systems. This raised the risk of downtime, which threatened on-time product deliveries and increased warehousing costs. To address this, VEKA worked with vendor IBM to implement an IBM System Storage TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway.

The IBM solution slashed full system backup times by over 75 percent, reducing them from 17 hours to just 3.5 hours. This dramatically minimized both planned and unplanned downtime, ensuring VEKA's production lines could run longer without interruption. The increased reliability helped guarantee on-time deliveries, boosted customer satisfaction, and eliminated the need for additional storage facilities, thereby cutting operational costs.
