Case Study: Telefónica Germany achieves 24x7 network availability and faster recovery with Veeam

Telefónica Germany Dials Veeam Availability into Its Business Growth Strategy

Telefónica Germany, one of the country’s largest telecommunications providers serving roughly 49 million customers, relied on a 300 TB network management environment running on 600 VMware VMs that must remain available 24x7. Their legacy backup and monitoring tools couldn’t guarantee fast recovery or provide actionable, automated reporting—creating risk of costly outages and making it difficult to integrate new operations after the E-Plus acquisition.

By deploying Veeam Availability Suite, Telefónica Germany now protects 300 TB across two data centers with replication, real-time monitoring, reporting and capacity planning. The solution delivered continuous availability, enabled rapid recovery (including an Instant VM Recovery that restored a critical VM), reduced three-year licensing costs by about 25%, saved nearly 1,000 troubleshooting hours, and simplified capacity forecasting—helping the company secure network uptime and support its growth strategy.
