Case Study: Kasikornbank achieves 900 hours/month and $70,000/year in IT savings with Veeam

Veeam helps KBank save 900 hours and $70,000 in IT costs

Kasikornbank (KBank), supported by its Kasikorn Business Technology Group (KBTG), runs the K PLUS app that processes about 100 million digital transactions daily. The bank’s legacy, agent‑based backup solution required manual verification of every job, often took hours to recover databases, and forced lengthy, coordinated agent upgrades that disrupted 24/7 systems — shortcomings that hindered digital transformation and regulatory compliance.

KBank deployed Veeam Availability Suite with HPE StoreOnce to protect 2 PB across 1,800 VMs and 120 physical machines, replicating data to a separate site for DR. Instant VM Recovery, Veeam Explorers and DataLabs cut recovery and verification times dramatically (recoverability checks fell from months to one week), while integrations improved deduplication and reduced storage and licensing costs. The solution now supports Bank of Thailand compliance and saves about 900 administrative hours per month and $70,000 in IT costs annually.
