Overview

Bachmann Group is a premium manufacturer of power and power management solutions based in Austria. Working with reseller partner Bechtle, Bachmann added Wasabi as the S3 storage repository behind its existing Veeam backup environment.

 

INDUSTRY:
Energy & Manufacturing

USE CASE:

  • Backup and recovery

  • Scale-out backup

  • Cyber resilience

Challenges

The IT team sought a cloud storage solution that could support their Veeam backup environment and scale across storage locations around the world.

Scaling storage silos

Bachmann sought a single cloud storage solution that could scale across its backup environments in multiple locations.

Veeam-friendly

Bachmann’s new cloud storage offering must integrate into their existing Veeam solution. 

Data protection

Cloud storage enables Bachmann to prevent the modification of critical data and create an overall more secure backup posture.

Cost and complexity

Bachmann needed the technical capabilities of a hyperscaler without the cost and complexity that typically comes with one.

Wasabi gives us an easy-to-use and cost-effective S3 storage solution that fits very well into our Veeam backup environment.

The implementation was straightforward. We were able to connect Wasabi to our existing backup setup without major complexity.

The ability to store data so that it cannot be modified adds an additional layer of protection to our backup strategy.

Solution

With guidance from reseller partner Bechtle, Bachmann added Wasabi as the S3 storage repository behind its Veeam backup environment. Wasabi connected to Bachmann's existing Veeam setup without disrupting its current workflows. Bachmann evaluated Wasabi against a local provider in Baden-Württemberg and Azure Blob Storage before choosing Wasabi for its balance of functionality, simplicity, and cost efficiency.

  • Immutable security: Wasabi Object Lock keeps backup data from being modified, adding a layer of protection to Bachmann's backup strategy.

  • Cost-efficiency: Wasabi’s transparent pricing structure and lack of hidden fees put it ahead of similar hyperscale offerings.

  • Instant integration: Setting up Wasabi with Veeam was completed quickly and without disruption.

  • Location-based buckets: Separate buckets for each location give Bachmann's IT team more structure and flexibility in managing backup data across the organization.

Results

Bachmann hopes to make S3 storage the standard approach for backup organization wide. Wasabi’s balance of functionality, simplicity, and cost efficiency have made it an indispensable part of the firm’s global data strategy.
