Case Study: World Vision International achieves 24x7 availability, 63% shorter backups and 95% faster recoveries with Veeam Backup & Replication

High Availability with Veeam Enables World Vision’s Humanitarian Endeavors

World Vision International, a global Christian humanitarian organisation with 46,000 staff in 105 countries, needed reliable 24x7 access to its virtualised applications and data to support 2,500 programs and maintain accountability to donors. Their legacy backup tool was slow and unpredictable—taking up to 24 hours to complete backups and up to 90 minutes to restore VMs—risking program delivery and data integrity.

World Vision deployed Veeam Backup & Replication with NetApp integration to protect 500 VMs and 5 TB of daily data. The new solution cut the backup window by 63% (24→9 hours), enabled 30% more recovery points, reduced backup storage needs by 30%, sped restores by 95 (restores now under five minutes) and lowered downtime by 60% using features like Instant VM Recovery, SureBackup and On‑Demand Sandbox.
