Introduction
As its previous backup environment began to age, Hans Hundegger AG needed a secure, simple, and powerful Veeam-compatible backup storage environment that could reduce overheads and scale for future growth—making Object First the perfect provider.
Challenge
Before Object First, Hans Hundegger AG used an OS-managed server with internal storage to manage their Veeam backups. Stefan Feneberg, IT Manager at Hans Hundegger AG commented: Our previous backup environment designed around Veeam dated back to 2018 and did not reflect the current challenges in IT security and administration. As our IT team is quite lean, we do not have a dedicated backup admin and the time spent with this old environment required time and resources that we do not have. The number of tickets we had to open with Veeam regarding many different topics grew in the past 3 years and we were seeking a massive simplification combined with increased security.”
Solution
Object First’s Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box Immutability) appliance immediately rose to the top for both partner and customer, as it not only met these criteria but exceeded them. Veeam specialization was a particular draw for Stefan Feneberg, IT Manager at Hans Hundegger AG: “The absolute focus on Veeam made Object First stand out—no one else can deliver that. With this focus, it was really easy to implement a PoC, so we were really sure that this solution would work in our environment already before purchasing it.”
Result
By implementing Ootbi from Object First, Hans Hundegger AG has been able to address all its key storage challenges:
- Immutable storage provides security against ransomware threats
- Automated restore guarantees backups take place and are easily recoverable in case of disaster
- The average restore time dropped 66%, from six hours to two
- Seamless integration with Veeam architecture has significantly reduced administrative overheads
