Case Study: McCarthy Building Companies, Inc achieves hyper-availability and 5-minute recovery with Veeam

Construction Company Sets Hyper-Availability in Stone with Veeam

McCarthy Building Companies, a 150‑plus‑year‑old, employee‑owned U.S. construction firm with ~1,700 staff and projects nationwide, faced a growing data‑availability challenge as IoT, drones and 3‑D scanning expanded its footprint from 325 TB in 2018 toward petabytes by 2025. Critical project data being unavailable—previous recoveries could take up to 10 hours—threatened schedules, budgets and the ability of employees and partners to make timely decisions.

McCarthy deployed Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows to ensure hyper‑availability and enterprise scalability, backing physical and virtual workloads to Azure. The solution delivered immediate ROI: a major DNS outage was recovered in 5 minutes, 1,900 deleted emails were restored in 3 minutes, and teams can now access project data instantly to keep thousands of jobs on time and on budget.
