Case Study: Raiffeisen Bank Polska S.A. achieves reliable, twice-as-fast backups and instant VM recovery with Veeam Backup & Replication

European Bank Chooses Veeam Backup & Replication for its Simplicity and Reliability

Raiffeisen Bank Polska S.A., one of Poland’s largest commercial banks serving roughly 243,000 customers, needed reliable protection for a virtual environment spanning two data centers, 100 locations, 34 VMware ESX hosts and 260 VMs used by about 3,000 employees. The bank’s previous backup solution was slow, inconsistent and complex, lacked centralized visibility, and could not deliver the near‑continuous protection or rapid restores required for mission‑critical applications.

Working with COMPAREX, the bank deployed Veeam Backup & Replication Standard Edition, gaining a single, user‑friendly console, near‑continuous data protection and Instant VM Recovery to run VMs directly from compressed, deduplicated backups. Backups now run twice as fast, full VM restores complete in minutes without disrupting users, and centralized monitoring delivers quick overviews of jobs and reduced cost and complexity for the IT team.
