Case Study: ECKD KIGST (church & welfare IT provider) achieves secure cloud transition and high availability with Veeam Cloud Data Management

ECKD KIGST paves the way to the cloud for church and welfare with Cloud Data Management from Veeam

ECKD KIGST is one of Germany’s leading IT providers for church and welfare organizations, supporting ~25,000 users from two ISO/IEC 27001‑certified data centers with over 2,000 virtual systems and 1,800 TB of data. Faced with rising data‑protection requirements, growing Office 365 adoption and a need to support hybrid on‑premises/cloud scenarios securely, flexibly and cost‑effectively, the company sought a Cloud Data Management platform to ensure availability and compliance.

ECKD KIGST implemented Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 to offer managed Backup‑as‑a‑Service, Instant VM Recovery, granular Office 365 restores, and flexible storage (on‑site, customer site or public cloud). The result: high‑availability IT services for 25,000 users, faster cloud transformation during COVID‑19, reliable SLAs and improved cost efficiency via usage‑based licensing.
