Case Study: OSN achieves 99.998% availability and sub-20-minute recovery with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Keeps OSN On-Air 24/7

OSN, a leading MENA premium-content broadcaster with 150+ channels, had virtualized about 80% of its IT but still relied on a legacy backup solution not designed for virtual environments. As a 24x7 operation where downtime threatens costly service interruptions and brand damage, OSN needed a purpose-built availability solution to protect its CRM, contact center and other mission‑critical systems.

After a successful POC, OSN deployed Veeam Backup & Replication to run four daily backups across ~200 VMs, protecting nearly 20 TB in under three hours and enabling full VM recovery in under 20 minutes. The solution delivered 99.998% availability, cut licensing and manpower costs by about 50%, reduced storage needs by ~30% (moving from tape to low‑cost disk), and simplified regulatory compliance and testing with Virtual Labs.
