Case Study: SES S.A. achieves 24x7x365 satellite scheduling availability with Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Management Pack

SES Amplifies Availability for Satellite Scheduling with Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam MP

SES S.A., one of the world’s largest satellite owners and operators providing coverage to 99% of the globe, faced a critical availability challenge: slow, unreliable backups and multi-hour VM restores put its satellite scheduling system and tight RTO/RPO SLAs at risk as data volumes grew and operations spanned thousands of VMs across six data centers. Daily backup failures and lengthy recovery procedures threatened the company’s ability to schedule customer transmissions and meet disaster-recovery requirements.

SES deployed Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Management Pack for System Center, using features like Instant VM Recovery, Instant File-Level Recovery and Veeam Explorer to cut recoveries to minutes and integrate real-time monitoring into System Center. The result: 24x7x365 availability for satellite scheduling, consistent achievement of RTO/RPO SLAs, successful DR testing and proactive issue resolution through improved visibility and alerts.
