Case Study: Rabobank achieves enterprise scalability, four times faster recovery and ransomware protection with Veeam Availability Suite

Rabobank chooses Veeam for enterprise scalability

Rabobank, a global cooperative bank, merged two separate IT estates and needed an enterprise-grade data protection solution to support more than 12,500 VMs, ensure business continuity and 100% data integrity, simplify protection for critical SQL workloads, and defend against rising ransomware threats — all while controlling costs.

Rabobank adopted Veeam Availability Suite as its European standard, backing up 3 PB across 12,500 VMware VMs in two data centers and deploying immutable backups for ransomware protection. The solution delivered up to 4× faster backup and recovery, advanced testing and restore features via Veeam DataLabs (SureBackup, Instant VM Recovery, Secure Restore), and roughly 50% annual savings in licensing, with Veeam serving as a long‑term strategic partner.
