Case Study: Frimesa achieves up to 93% faster backups and a streamlined move to Azure with Veeam

Frimesa accelerates backups by 93%: minimizing disruption and streamlining the move to Azure

Frimesa, a Brazilian food-and-beverage company with 8,500 employees and a mixed IT estate (Windows, Linux, Solaris, Oracle) running on ~20 bare-metal servers and 150 VMs, faced growing backup windows that sometimes ran 24–48 hours and risked disrupting production. After replacing tape with high‑performance storage, the company needed a single, reliable data protection solution for on‑premises and Azure environments that could handle large Solaris Oracle workloads and shorten backup windows.

Frimesa selected Veeam Availability Suite (Veeam ONE + Backup & Replication) to automate backups, test recoverability with Veeam SureBackup, and enable cloud restores to Azure. The result: backup times cut by up to 93%—daily production backups now complete within planned windows—faster, object‑level recoveries in minutes, simplified single‑pane monitoring and licensing across platforms, and stronger confidence to accelerate its move to the cloud.
