Case Study: AUCloud achieves rapid, cost-effective protection of Australian government data with Veeam

AUCloud safeguards Australian government data with Veeam

AUCloud, Australia’s sovereign cloud IaaS provider for government and critical national infrastructure, needed a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy backup and data-management solution to protect mission‑critical information. With 98% of its operations running on virtual machines and several customers moving Office 365 data to the higher “PROTECTED” classification, AUCloud required long-term retention, high availability, and local Canberra support—capabilities its existing tools could not fully deliver.

AUCloud selected Veeam (Backup & Replication Enterprise, Cloud Connect and Backup for Microsoft Office 365) integrated with Cisco UCS S3260 storage, enabling fast, reliable restores (an entire VM recovered in about 10 minutes), a self-service Office 365 recovery portal for customers, and local engineering support. The deployment delivered a cost‑effective Cloud Data Management solution that safeguards 98% of AUCloud’s internal business, reduces downtime and reputational risk, and improves operational efficiency.
