Case Study: Avery Dennison achieves minutes-level recovery and continuous manufacturing uptime with Veeam Availability Suite

Veeam helps Avery Dennison meet growing global demand

Avery Dennison, a global materials‑science and manufacturing leader that produces everything from RFID labels to medical‑grade tapes and PPE, needed always‑on IT to support automated production and surges in demand (notably during COVID‑19). Its legacy backup tools lacked disaster‑recovery replication, high‑speed restore capabilities and cloud integration, creating unacceptable downtime risk for critical manufacturing systems.

Avery Dennison deployed Veeam Availability Suite to back up 750 TB across 1,000+ VMs, replicate off‑site for DR, and use Instant VM Recovery and Veeam Explorers for fast SQL/Oracle restores, with backup copies sent to a secure private cloud under flexible licensing. As a result, critical systems that once took up to 24 hours to recover can now be restored in minutes, dramatically reducing downtime risk and improving business uptime and continuity.
