Case Study: BLC Bank achieves regulatory compliance, hyper-availability and a 30% reduction in IT effort with Veeam

Veeam enables BLC Bank to meet regulatory burdens while their customers cash in through Intelligent Data Management

BLC Bank, a leading Lebanese financial institution undergoing rapid virtualization (85% of its environment), faced rising backup windows, slow and untestable recoveries and growing regulatory risk that threatened customer-facing services and operations. With 27 TB of critical data and strict availability expectations, the bank needed a faster, more reliable way to protect core banking, mobile apps and essential services to avoid costly downtime and compliance failures.

After a quick proof-of-concept and one-day deployment of Veeam Availability Suite (with Veeam ONE for monitoring), BLC now backs 27 TB in under 10 hours (a 60% reduction), performs complete VM recoveries in under 15 minutes (versus up to a day previously), and uses fast file- and item-level restores for customer support and audits. The solution improved regulatory assurance, enabled fact-based capacity forecasting and cut IT effort on backup and verification by about 30%, helping ensure continuous service and customer trust.
