Case Study: Qatar Engineering & Construction Company achieves 3x faster backups and 98% faster restores with Veeam Backup & Replication

Qcon reinforces its reputation for rock-solid reliability with uninterrupted services protected by Veeam

Qatar Engineering & Construction Company (Qcon), the primary EPC contractor for Qatar’s oil, gas, petrochemical and power sectors with 5,000–10,000 staff, was rapidly digitizing operations—deploying mobile devices, replacing paper workflows and moving to cloud services. As data grew from about 10 TB to 30 TB and remote sites uploaded more information, the company’s legacy backup tools proved inadequate for virtualization, local support and fast restores, creating a risk to reporting, billing and on-site operations.

Qcon deployed Veeam Backup & Replication to provide a hardware-agnostic, integrated backup and replication platform, adopting a 3-2-1-1-0 protection strategy and protecting 50+ VMs and physical servers. The result: backup jobs run up to three times faster with a 99% success rate, restores are 98% faster (to minutes) via instant recovery, and the solution supports cloud migration—ensuring continuous service delivery and more reliable billing.
