Case Study: Viking Line achieves 24x7 availability and fast recoveries with Veeam Backup & Replication

Viking Line Anchors Availability with Veeam

Viking Line, a Finnish ferry and cruise operator with seven vessels and critical 24x7 services (POS, reservations, email, website), struggled with a legacy backup tool that produced frequent failures, slow agent-based backups, leftover VMware snapshots and missed backup windows—leaving few recovery points and jeopardizing recovery time and point objectives (RTPO).

Partnering with ITaito, Viking Line deployed Veeam Backup & Replication, gaining fast, reliable backups, Instant VM Recovery (restores in minutes), Quick Migration, Veeam Explorer for Exchange and native tape support. The result: more VMs backed up more often, multiple recovery points, reduced downtime and daily troubleshooting (saving over 60 hours/year), and easy long‑term retention for compliance.
