Case Study: Cordys Nederland B.V. achieves fast, reliable VM backups and rapid recovery with Veeam Backup & Replication

Cordys Protects Critical Financial System with Veeam

Cordys, a global enterprise cloud platform provider, had virtualized its IT environment on VMware vSphere but faced slow, unreliable VM backups as its estate grew to 550+ VMs. Restores were lengthy or impractical (requiring rebuilding VMs and restoring apps/data), so the team was reluctant to virtualize critical systems—like the financial system—without a faster, scalable disaster-recovery solution.

Cordys implemented Veeam Backup & Replication across three datacenters, gaining much faster, more reliable backups and automated recoverability testing via SureBackup. Administration fell to about 30 minutes per week, Instant VM Recovery and vPower enabled restarts and full restores in minutes (even recovering a 1 TB datastore quickly), and backups became verifiably recoverable—allowing Cordys to safely protect its growing virtual environment and critical systems.
