Case Study: Aalborg Portland Malaysia Sdn. Bhd achieves 24x7 uptime and minutes‑level recovery with Veeam Backup & Replication

Early Veeam Adopter Trusts Software Innovation to Cement 24x7 Uptime

Aalborg Portland Malaysia, a leading white cement manufacturer, had virtualized key applications but was hampered by a legacy backup tool that required time‑consuming agents, matched backup storage to VM size, and could not restore data from older versions. That limited recovery speed and put 24x7 manufacturing operations at risk, so the IT team needed a backup solution that kept pace with virtualization and simplified recovery.

The company replaced the legacy tool with Veeam Backup & Replication in 2009 and—using features like Instant VM Recovery, Veeam Explorer for SQL and reverse incremental backups—cut recovery time from hours to minutes, increased restore points with short backup intervals, and scaled with data growth (now protecting 1.2 TB). The faster, more reliable recoveries have improved availability, reduced data‑loss risk, and given the team confidence to virtualize its most critical manufacturing application.
