Case Study: Van Oord achieves 75% faster backups and global data resilience with Veeam

Van Oord delivers marine ingenuity all over the globe by enabling data resilience with Veeam

Van Oord is a family‑owned Dutch marine contractor with more than 155 years’ experience and over 5,500 employees operating worldwide. With vessels that function as floating data centers and a geographically diverse IT estate, the company needed fast, reliable access to data and a cost‑effective, robust protection strategy to address rising ransomware risk and new regulatory requirements.

Van Oord standardized on Veeam Data Platform, rolling it out from small vessels to central data centers and adopting the 3‑2‑1‑1‑0 approach with SureBackup. The solution simplified management, cut backup windows by 75% (from eight hours to two or less), delivered comprehensive protection and faster recovery across all vessels, and improved cyber‑resilience and readiness for emerging regulations.
