Case Study: BayWa r.e. achieves continuous data availability and rapid recovery for global renewable energy operations with Veeam

BayWa r.e. shapes the future of renewable energy with Veeam

BayWa r.e. is a global developer and operator of renewable energy projects with about 2,400 employees, delivering end-to-end solar, wind and bioenergy solutions worldwide. Facing a hybrid IT environment that spans on‑premises data centers and Microsoft Office 365, the company needed a reliable platform to ensure continuous access to applications and protect critical operational and collaboration data against downtime or loss.

BayWa r.e. standardized on Veeam — using Veeam Backup & Replication (with Instant VM Recovery and replication) for its VMware estate and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams — and kept these protections through a colocation migration with virtually no downtime. The result: minutes‑level recoveries, verified backups, swift restores (including a case that recovered years‑old emails and averted potential multimillion‑euro damage), stronger protection for cloud data and accelerated digital transformation as the company plans further Azure adoption.
