Case Study: Advania acquires new customers and achieves 24x7 availability with Veeam Availability Suite

Cloud Provider Acquires Customers in New Markets with Veeam

Advania, an Icelandic hosting and data-center provider serving public and private customers across Iceland, Norway and Sweden, needed to expand into markets that demand 24x7 availability and robust disaster recovery. Its legacy backup tool was slow, unreliable and ran over the production network—causing nightly backups to overrun, degrading performance and forcing the backup team to constantly chase failures, putting SLAs at risk.

By deploying Veeam Availability Suite and backing up directly from storage, Advania cut backup times by 33%, completed backups overnight, and removed backup traffic from the production network. The change reduced complexity and costs, freed technicians to focus on other priorities, enabled low RPOs/RTOs and 24x7 availability (winning customers in government, military and financial sectors), and delivered rapid recoveries—one customer was restored in under an hour using Veeam Instant VM Recovery.
