Case Study: Qatar International Islamic Bank achieves 24.7.365 data availability and accelerated backup and recovery with Veeam

Veeam Helps QIIB Deliver Seamless, Personalised Banking Services

Qatar International Islamic Bank (QIIB) is a Qatar-based Islamic bank offering personal and corporate banking with a strong focus on digital services and a personalised customer experience. Because its test environment accounts for 60% of IT and critical systems must be available 24/7/365, slow backup and recovery threatened testing cycles, product launches and uninterrupted customer transactions.

QIIB deployed Veeam Availability Suite integrated with Dell EMC VNX to back up and replicate 300 Hyper‑V and VMware VMs (45 TB) across two data centers. Backup speed improved 75% and recovery speed 92%—restores that once took three days now take three hours—providing continuous availability, keeping development and launch schedules on track, reducing admin overhead and costs, and helping QIIB earn a Banking Excellence award.
