Case Study: YTL PowerSeraya Pte. Limited achieves up to 67% faster RTO and ransomware-resilient backups with Veeam

YTL PowerSeraya Pte. Limited keeps energy customers connected with up to 67% faster RTO from Veeam

YTL PowerSeraya, a Singapore energy producer supplying roughly 17% of the nation’s power, needed to protect critical IT systems that support customer accounts and back‑office operations. The company relied on slow, tape‑based backups that often overran production windows and left recovery times measured in hours — a serious exposure given rising ransomware threats and the need for continuous availability.

To address this, YTL PowerSeraya deployed Veeam Availability Suite (including Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE) in a hybrid‑cloud architecture with immutable backups and offsite Azure copies. The move eliminated tape, enabled fast daily incremental backups that no longer overrun production, and cut RTO for a typical 300GB tier‑1 server from six hours to two (a 67% reduction), allowing file or VM recoveries in minutes and significantly reducing ransomware risk.
