Case Study: Nakilat achieves reliable low‑bandwidth fleet data backups and 70% faster restores with Veeam Availability Suite

Nakilat Sails to Success with Veeam

Nakilat, a publicly listed maritime company that operates the world’s largest LNG fleet (69 vessels, about 12% of global capacity), relies on real-time ship and sensor data to manage operations, compliance and planning across 25+ countries. Limited VSAT connectivity (1–4 Mbps) and small onboard data centers prevented reliable syncing and backup of critical data, creating risks to decision-making, service continuity and operational efficiency.

Nakilat deployed Veeam Availability Suite Enterprise Plus across its two on‑premises data centers, Azure cloud and 18 shipboard data centers. Veeam’s compression and deduplication enabled reliable backups over low-bandwidth links, reduced VM restore times by 70% with instant recovery, simplified management and reporting, met RTO/RPO targets (including Office 365/SharePoint), and paved the way for Nakilat’s cloud-first and IoT strategies.
