Case Study: Victorinox achieves uninterrupted production of 100,000+ Swiss Army Knives per day with Veeam

Victorinox uses Veeam to protect the production of more than 100.000 Swiss Army Knives per day

Victorinox, the Swiss maker of the Swiss Army Knife that manufactures more than 100,000 knives per day, centralized its IT to run critical production, logistics and ERP systems from two data centers. Faced with over 100 TB of virtualized data, an error-prone backup solution and a pending hypervisor migration, the company needed a future-proof, easy-to-use backup strategy to ensure continuous production and fast recoveries.

Victorinox implemented Veeam Backup & Replication with Veeam Agent for Windows alongside new Pure Storage infrastructure, enabling seamless protection across Hyper‑V and VMware, physical servers and two data centers. The result: instant VM recoveries that cut restore times from hours to minutes, simple granular restores, reduced operational effort for IT, and integrated defenses (air‑gaps/immutable options) against ransomware—ensuring uninterrupted production and logistics.
