Case Study: Sibur-Khimprom CJSC achieves an 80% backup window reduction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Sibur-Khimprom CJSC Reduces Backup Window by 80 percent with Veeam

Sibur-Khimprom CJSC, a leading Russian petrochemical manufacturer and subsidiary of SIBUR Holding, needed to replace its legacy backup product as it moved from physical to virtual infrastructure. The existing solution required agents inside each VM, was slow and inefficient, and risked loss of critical data—so the IT team sought a faster, more reliable and cost‑effective data protection solution.

After testing multiple vendors, the company deployed Veeam Backup & Replication for its agentless architecture, changed block tracking, deduplication and per‑CPU licensing. The switch cut the backup window by 80% (from 10 hours to 2), reduced backup storage needs threefold, lowered software costs by about 30%, reduced load on ESX hosts, and enabled replication for a disaster‑recovery site.
