Case Study: Curtiss-Wright Round Rock & Wimborne achieves eight-minute recovery from ransomware with Veeam

Curtiss-Wright Round Rock & Wimborne thwarts ransomware and restores critical systems in minutes with Veeam

Curtiss-Wright Round Rock & Wimborne, a nuclear safety instrumentation and control specialist serving civil and defense operations worldwide, needed a more reliable way to protect mission-critical systems after its legacy tape-based disaster recovery setup began suffering frequent backup failures. The company turned to Veeam Data Platform Premium to support high availability for key tools like AutoCAD and its ERP platform, while meeting a two-hour recovery target and improving resilience against outages and ransomware.

Veeam implemented real-time replication and automated backups across a refreshed virtualized environment, protecting 70 TB of data across 72 VMware VMs and extending retention for some systems to six months. As a result, Curtiss-Wright Round Rock & Wimborne restored critical systems in as little as eight minutes, eliminated Veeam-related backup failures, and saved the equivalent of one full-time employee’s work on backup tasks, while cutting service ticket response times from eight hours to two hours.
