speed increased by 75% and recovery speed
increased by 92% thanks to integration
between Veeam and Dell EMC VNX, our

solutions and a positive banking experience.
“Veeam helps us deliver seamless,
personalised service to customers, and Veeam

“We learned this very quickly during Veeam’s
proof of concept.”
During the proof of concept, Veeam
dramatically improved recovery speed of the
bank’s virtual machines. QIIB restored them
from a backup in three hours. Mahmoud said
restoring them with legacy backup would
have taken three days.
