Case Study: Admiral achieves 90% faster recovery and ransomware‑resilient customer data protection with Veeam

Admiral salutes Veeam for protecting data supporting their customers’ experience

Admiral, the UK’s largest car insurer serving millions of customers, needed to strengthen protection for the data that underpins its customer experience and meet Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) compliance while defending against cyberattacks. After relying on a managed BaaS using IBM Spectrum Protect, the IT team sought faster recovery, better visibility, workload portability for cloud integration, and immutable backups to guard against ransomware.

Admiral deployed Veeam Availability Suite and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, backing up 500 TB across 400+ VMs to Pure Storage FlashBlade (with immutable SafeMode snapshots) and 60 TB of Office 365 data to Azure Blob. The solution enabled 90% faster recoveries, granular O365 restores, proactive monitoring for audits, strong ransomware resilience, significant five‑year cost savings, and a future‑proof path for cloud-native backup.
