Case Study: Svenska Fonster achieves 98% faster backups and 89% faster recovery with Veeam

Svenska Fönster Selects Veeam and NetApp for Business Growth

Svenska Fönster, a leading European window manufacturer, needed to boost production and market share but was held back by inefficient IT. Legacy backups were creating heavy VMware snapshot load, forcing backups to run only at night, causing slow ERP recoveries (up to two days) and long hours for the IT team—threatening continuous production.

By deploying Veeam Availability Suite integrated with NetApp ONTAP (FlexPod), the company leveraged storage snapshots for fast local and off‑site recovery and automated recoverability checks. The backup window dropped 98% (from five hours to five minutes), recovery speed improved 89% (ERP restores now take hours, not days), administrative burden fell and ERP availability became continuous—enabling increased manufacturing and market-share growth.
