Case Study: Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe achieves continuous data and application availability and 50% reduced operating costs with Veeam

Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe Chooses Veeam to Support Humanitarian Aid

Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe is a major German humanitarian and social services organization that supports domestic rescue operations and international crisis relief. As it consolidated nine regional IT environments into a central VMware-based data center running roughly 100 core applications across 600 VMs and 250 TB of data, the charity needed uninterrupted access to email and critical systems for its 60,000 emergency personnel and volunteers worldwide.

Johanniter implemented Veeam Backup & Replication integrated with HPE 3PAR StoreServ, enabling fast Instant VM Recovery, granular restores with Veeam Explorer for Exchange and automated recoverability checks via SureBackup. The solution improved application availability, allowed backups from storage snapshots without impacting production, cut backup and maintenance effort by about 50%, and freed funds for digital initiatives like drones, care platforms and smart-home assistants.
