Case Study: Yusen Logistics Americas achieves 100% RTO/RPO and 98% faster backups with Veeam

Yusen Logistics Americas Meets RTO/RPO with Veeam + Cisco HyperFlex, Saving $300,000 Every 10 Minutes in Downtime

Yusen Logistics Americas, a US subsidiary of Nippon Yusen Kaisha that manages complex supply‑chain and distribution services for major retailers, was running 1.1 PB across 600 VMs to support three mission‑critical systems. Slow, unreliable backups left RTO/RPO achievable only 50% of the time, exposing the business to severe continuity risk — roughly $300,000 in losses every 10 minutes of downtime.

The company replaced legacy backup with Veeam Backup & Replication integrated with Cisco HyperFlex, using snapshot-based protection, SureBackup/SureReplica verification and Virtual Lab testing. The solution delivered 100% attainment of RTO/RPO, a 98% reduction in time spent protecting data, zero‑impact migration of 400 VMs, and materially improved business resiliency and continuity.
