Case Study: Allied Mineral Products, Inc. achieves fast, reliable VM backup and recovery with Veeam Backup & Replication

Global Manufacturer Upgrades to More Effective Backup Tool

Allied Mineral Products, a Columbus-based global manufacturer of monolithic refractories with facilities in eight countries, was struggling with an unreliable backup product that had been retrofitted for virtual environments and didn’t support the latest hypervisor. IT staff spent large portions of their days troubleshooting failed jobs and had little confidence in their ability to recover critical virtual machines and applications.

PCM recommended Veeam Backup & Replication, an agentless solution built for virtualization that backs up VMs locally, replicates between sites, and copies to tape for long-term storage. After deployment Allied saw ~70% faster backups, near-instant VM recovery and failover, automated verification of every backup via Virtual Lab, and timely support for new hypervisor releases—restoring reliability, confidence, and much faster RTOs.
