Case Study: Niedersachsen Ports achieves reliable, faster WAN backups and instant VM recovery across 15 locations with Veeam Availability Suite

Niedersachsen Ports GmbH & Co. KG secures data at all locations with Veeam and Dell EMC Data Domain Boost

Niedersachsen Ports GmbH & Co. KG is a state‑owned operator of 15 port locations in Lower Saxony that manages critical operational and customer data, including ship transmissions and hazardous‑goods notifications. Its IT environment runs ~250 VMs across multiple data centers, and the incumbent backup solution could not keep pace with growing virtualization, WAN constraints and the need for fast, reliable recovery across all sites.

With Brinova’s help the company deployed Veeam Availability Suite with Veeam WAN Acceleration and Dell EMC Data Domain Boost. The combined solution enabled stable first‑time backups over the WAN, synthetic fulls, and doubled backup performance while reducing storage via deduplication and compression; Instant VM Recovery and Veeam Explorer for Exchange deliver minutes‑level VM and item restores, and the intuitive GUI simplified ongoing management.
