Case Study: Mahindra Group achieves a 55% reduction in backup costs and modernized backup infrastructure with Veeam Backup & Replication

Mahindra Group deploys Veeam to modernize its backup infrastructure

Mahindra Group, a diversified global conglomerate operating across 22 industries, faced growing data volumes and a need for continuous availability as it accelerated digital transformation. Its legacy backup environment—multiple vendors, capacity‑based licensing and tape storage—was complex, costly and hard to scale, increasing the risk of downtime and hindering reliable recovery.

After proof-of-concept trials, Mahindra consolidated backups with Veeam Backup & Replication and the flexible Veeam Universal License on commodity hardware, covering 1,000+ VMs and physical systems. The change eliminated tape, improved compression by 30%, cut backup costs by 55%, enabled more frequent backups and removed third‑party support needs—strengthening recovery reliability and supporting uninterrupted customer service.
