Case Study: Mohawk (Unilin) achieves reliable, fast IT recovery and 95% reduction in backup management with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam floors Unilin, a Mohawk company, with enterprise protection of IT systems

Unilin, part of Mohawk Industries and a global leader in flooring manufacturing, needed reliable protection for critical IT systems that keep highly automated production and warehouse operations running. Legacy backup was unreliable and time-consuming, putting SAP EWM, Locus WMS and other systems at risk of downtime and jeopardizing SOX compliance; after six months of failed fixes with their previous vendor, Unilin sought a dependable alternative.

Unilin replaced the legacy product with Veeam Backup & Replication, immediately enabling fast restores, reliable replication to a DR site and a cloud-ready data management strategy for Azure. Veeam now protects 1.3 PB across 550 VMs and 85 physical machines, cut backup management from 40 to 2 hours per week (freeing one full-time employee), verifies recoverability for SOX compliance, and simplified disaster recovery and cloud adoption.
