Case Study: Sky Deutschland achieves modern, cost‑saving data protection and 24/7 availability with Veeam

Sky Deutschland protects programming and customer care with Veeam

Sky Deutschland, a leading entertainment provider in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, needed to ensure 24/7 availability of the data, applications and NAS that support programming and customer care. The team was managing two outdated, complex backup solutions—one for virtual and one for physical servers—that were time-consuming to operate and not ready for the anticipated hybrid‑cloud environment or petabyte‑scale growth.

Sky replaced the legacy tools with Veeam Backup & Replication, using a storage‑neutral, scalable architecture (hundreds of TB on‑premises to ExaGrid with off‑site replication) and a portable Universal License to protect any workload anywhere. The new solution simplified management, sped up NAS and file recoveries, saved about 40 hours of admin time per week, and cut backup costs roughly 50%, while providing a clear path to hybrid‑cloud scalability and long‑term archive tiering.
