Case Study: Anittel achieves 10x faster backups and over 3x storage savings with Veeam Backup & Replication

Anittel - Customer Case Study

Anittel, one of Australia’s largest IT and telecommunications providers with 17 offices and 12 data centers supporting 400–500 virtual machines, experienced growing backup performance and reliability problems as its environment expanded. Their previous solution produced long backups (around 12 hours), inconsistent change tracking and even a failed recovery of 400 GB of data, so they needed a scalable, ESXi‑compatible solution with fast restores, deduplication and flexible licensing.

Anittel deployed Veeam Backup & Replication, gaining instant VM recovery, reliable change tracking and native ESXi support; backups became nearly 10× faster (from ~12 hours to 1–2 hours) and built‑in deduplication/compression reduced storage needs to less than a third. Veeam’s flexible licensing and license-conversion support improved ROI, lowered operational overhead, and positioned Anittel to offer efficient cloud and off‑site backup services to customers.
