Case Study: Ultra Energy achieves sub-10-minute mission-critical recovery and ransomware resilience with Veeam Data Platform Premium

Ultra Energy restores mission-critical systems in under 10 minutes and thwarts ransomware attacks with Veeam

Ultra Energy, a Wimborne, England–based designer and manufacturer of measurement and control systems for nuclear, aerospace and other safety‑critical industries, faced growing risk from aging infrastructure and a legacy tape backup regime. Frequent backup failures forced staff to re-run jobs during business hours and sit on site at weekends, while the business required a two‑hour recovery time objective for mission‑critical systems such as AutoCAD and ERP.

The company deployed Veeam Data Platform Premium to protect 70 TB across 72 VMware VMs, using two‑hour replication to a DR platform, daily backups to an HPE StoreOnce appliance with cloud long‑term retention, and immutable backups for ransomware protection. As a result Ultra Energy can spin up replicas in as little as eight minutes, has eliminated backup reliability issues, reclaimed the equivalent of one full‑time employee, cut service ticket response times by 75%, and achieved Cyber Essentials Plus compliance.
