Case Study: Industrial Scientific achieves 24.7.365 availability and 99% faster recovery with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Helps Gas Detection Company Save Lives

Industrial Scientific, a global leader in portable gas detection, monitors roughly 200,000 instruments at 10,000 customer sites across 68 countries to keep workers safe. Because lives depend on its iNet monitoring and alerting systems, the company needed 24/7 availability, but slow, unreliable legacy backup left tier‑1 RTPOs at 24 hours—an unacceptable risk in hazardous gas situations.

Industrial Scientific deployed Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Agent for Linux integrated with Dell EMC VNX, Data Domain and Nimble storage to protect 300 VMware VMs (438 TB) and replicate critical workloads. The change delivered 24.7.365 availability, cut RTPO from 24 hours to three minutes (a 99% reduction), saved the equivalent of one part‑time employee, reduced licensing costs by about 60%, and enabled faster, more scalable operations.
