Case Study: Gammon Construction achieves rapid data recovery and 24/7 cloud continuity with Veeam

Gammon Construction futureproofs its digital innovation strategy with Veeam

Gammon Construction, a leading Hong Kong and Asia contractor and early adopter of BIM and an Integrated Digital Project Delivery approach, faced a growing data-management challenge as BIM models and O365 collaboration produced large volumes of critical project data that must be retained for 8–12 years. Their tape-based backups were slow and cumbersome—restores could take days and assembling historical records for tenders more than a month—while COVID-19 and remote working increased reliance on Office 365 and the need for always-on, quickly recoverable data.

To address this, Gammon deployed Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 alongside Veeam Availability Suite and NetApp E-Series storage for daily consolidated backups and replication. The solution cut single-file restores from days to hours and reduced tender data retrieval to one to two weeks, secured over 500 TB of O365 data, ensured 24/7 business continuity and compliance, and freed IT resources to focus on innovation such as real-time site monitoring.
