Case Study: Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co. Ltd achieves sub‑15‑minute full recovery and 24/7 business availability with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam assists in data governance for the “ZPMC 4.0” era

Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC), the world’s largest heavy‑duty equipment manufacturer, launched its “ZPMC 4.0” digital transformation to move from traditional manufacturing to a data‑driven, service‑oriented model. Facing information silos across ERP/CRM and lifecycle master data, the company needed to migrate hundreds of systems into a virtual data center while guaranteeing data security, integrity and uninterrupted business continuity for more than 300 VMs.

ZPMC deployed Veeam Backup & Replication (with Veeam ONE in trial) to protect its VMware vSphere environment, using agentless Instant VM Recovery, vPower and NetApp integration to simplify backups and restores. The solution delivered RTPOs of <15 minutes, backup performance up to 20× faster than competitors and a temporary VM failover capability that ensures 24/7/365 availability, significantly improving recovery speed and operational efficiency.
