Case Study: Maintainer Corporation of Iowa achieves rapid ransomware recovery and continuous data protection with Veeam

Maintainer builds custom trucks and steers clear of ransomware with Veeam Continuous Data Protection

Maintainer Corporation of Iowa, a 45-year-old builder of custom truck bodies, relies on proprietary ERP, CRM and design systems to run its manufacturing operations and protect decades of intellectual property. When ransomware struck during an IT test, the company faced a potential production-stopping disaster and discovered its legacy backup was too slow and failed to recover critical file servers.

Maintainer deployed Veeam Availability Suite with Continuous Data Protection, immutable hardened Linux repositories and offsite/tape copies to protect ~9 TB across 45 VMware VMs and follow the 3-2-1-1-0 rule. The result: fast, reliable recovery of the ransomed servers, ongoing protection for all manufacturing systems, improved monitoring and capacity planning, and restored business continuity without paying a ransom.
