Case Study: Hoa Phat Group achieves SAP‑certified protection, 300% faster recovery and $45K annual IT savings with Veeam

Veeam SAP-certified backup drives digital transformation for Hoa Phat Group, saving $45,000 in IT costs annually

Hoa Phat Group (HPG), Vietnam’s largest steel producer, began a digital transformation to align IT with every stage of steel production and deploy SAP S/4HANA. The company needed an SAP‑certified backup solution because its existing, decentralized tools weren’t certified for SAP, lacked Continuous Data Protection, ransomware defenses, fast recovery and centralized monitoring, and were creating a heavy administrative burden that risked production downtime.

HPG implemented Veeam Availability Suite to provide SAP‑certified backups, CDP, hardened repositories and site-to-site replication for 64 TB across 140 VMs and 24 physical machines. Veeam’s Instant VM Recovery, Veeam Explorers and DataLabs cut recovery time by 300%, detect and protect against ransomware, and deliver fast DR readiness — saving HPG about $45,000 in annual IT costs and roughly 800 administrative hours per month.
