Why InfiniTech Partners with Veeam
How Veeam Backup & Recovery, combined with our Cornwall data centre infrastructure, delivers enterprise-grade data protection for businesses of every size.
When InfiniTech evaluated backup and disaster recovery solutions for our clients, we tested every major platform. Veeam consistently outperformed alternatives in reliability, recovery speed, and ransomware resilience. Combined with our Cornwall data centre infrastructure, we deliver enterprise-grade protection at SME-appropriate pricing.
Data loss destroys businesses. 60% of companies suffering major data loss close within six months. The difference between survival and closure often comes down to backup quality and recovery speed.
Why We Chose Veeam
Proven Reliability at Scale
Veeam protects over 450,000 customers globally, including 81% of Fortune 500 companies. This isn't marketing rhetoric; it represents millions of successful recoveries under real-world pressure.
When evaluating backup solutions, we prioritized platforms with extensive production deployment history. Theoretical capabilities matter less than proven performance during actual disasters.
Recovery Speed That Matters
Backup software gets tested during recovery. Veeam's instant recovery capabilities restore virtual machines in minutes rather than hours. For physical servers, file-level recovery provides granular restoration without full system rebuilds.
We tested recovery scenarios across all shortlisted platforms. Veeam consistently delivered fastest recovery times while maintaining data integrity throughout the process.
Ransomware Resilience
Modern ransomware targets backups deliberately. If attackers encrypt your backups alongside production data, recovery becomes impossible without paying ransom.
Veeam's immutable backup architecture prevents modification or deletion of backup files. Even with complete administrative access to your infrastructure, ransomware cannot touch properly configured Veeam backups stored in our data centre.
Real-World Ransomware Recovery
Cornwall legal practice suffered WannaCry variant attack Friday afternoon. Encryption spread across file servers and workstations within minutes. Veeam backups remained untouched in our data centre. Recovery initiated at 3:45 PM. All critical systems operational by 5:30 PM. Total business disruption: 1 hour 45 minutes. Ransom demanded: £15,000. Ransom paid: £0.
Core Veeam Capabilities
Instant VM Recovery
Virtual machines boot directly from backup storage within minutes, providing immediate business continuity while permanent restoration completes in background.
Granular File Recovery
Restore individual files, folders, or mailbox items without recovering entire systems. Users retrieve accidentally deleted documents themselves through simple interface.
Application-Aware Processing
Intelligent handling of databases, email systems, and business applications ensures consistent, recoverable backups of complex workloads.
Automated Testing
Scheduled backup verification confirms recoverability automatically. Never discover backup corruption during actual recovery attempt.
Cloud Integration
Seamless backup to Azure, AWS, or our data centre. Multi-cloud strategies prevent vendor lock-in while maintaining protection flexibility.
Compliance Reporting
Detailed audit trails and reporting satisfy regulatory requirements for data protection and retention policies.
Platform Support
What Veeam Protects
- VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual environments
- Physical Windows and Linux servers
- Microsoft 365 (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams)
- Windows workstations and laptops
- Network-attached storage (NAS) devices
- Cloud workloads in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud

Our Cornwall Data Centre Infrastructure
InfiniTech operates secure data centre infrastructure in Cornwall specifically designed for Veeam backup repositories. This local presence delivers advantages unavailable through distant cloud-only providers.
Geographic Proximity Benefits
Initial backup and restore operations complete faster with local infrastructure. A 500GB initial backup uploads to our Cornwall data centre in hours rather than days required for distant cloud regions.
During disaster recovery, every minute matters. Restoring 2TB of data from London or Ireland takes 6-8 hours. From our Cornwall infrastructure: 2-3 hours.
Physical Security
Our data centre facility provides:
Infrastructure Protections
- 24/7 monitored access control and CCTV surveillance
- Redundant power with UPS and generator backup
- Climate-controlled environment with precision cooling
- Fire suppression systems protecting equipment
- Multiple diverse internet connectivity paths
- Regular security audits and compliance assessments
Data Sovereignty
Your backup data never leaves the UK. This matters for regulatory compliance, data protection requirements, and avoiding questions about foreign government access to UK business information.
What This Means for Our Clients
Predictable Costs
Per-device or per-terabyte pricing with no hidden fees. No surprise bills when you actually need to recover data. No premium charges for support during disasters.
Hands-Off Management
We configure, monitor, and maintain your Veeam infrastructure. Daily verification ensures backups work before you need them. Proactive alerts catch issues before they become problems.
Rapid Recovery Guarantee
Critical systems recover within minutes. Complete infrastructure restoration completes within hours, not days. We test recovery capabilities quarterly to verify these commitments.
Cyber Insurance Compliance
Veeam backup architecture satisfies cyber insurance requirements for immutable backups, offsite storage, and regular testing. We provide documentation insurers require during policy application and renewal.
Implementation Process
Initial Assessment (Week 1)
We audit your current infrastructure, identify critical systems and data, calculate backup storage requirements, and design appropriate Veeam configuration for your specific needs.
Deployment (Week 2-3)
Install Veeam backup infrastructure, configure backup jobs with appropriate schedules, establish secure connection to our data centre, and perform initial full backups of all protected systems.
Testing & Handover (Week 4)
Execute test recoveries verifying all critical systems restore successfully. Train your team on self-service file recovery. Document procedures and provide ongoing support contacts.
Typical implementation timeline: 3-4 weeks from contract signature to full production backup coverage.
