Veeam Software, a global data resilience company, has enabled Unifrutti Group to achieve 99.995% data availability and cut recovery time to just 8 minutes. The fresh fruit producer and distributor relies on Veeam Data Platform to safeguard its diverse, geographically dispersed data assets.

Founded in 1948 in Italy, Unifrutti is now part of Abu Dhabi-based investment firm ADQ. The company operates on four continents with 11,000 employees managing farms spanning over 14,000 hectares. To maintain quality across remote farms and international shipping, continuous data access is critical. Missing records can directly affect the freshness and salability of fruit.

Dewet Blaauw, Group Network and Security Manager at Unifrutti, explained that data is gathered at every stage of harvesting, packaging, and shipping. This ensures products reach customers with the expected quality. Blaauw added that preserving complete records is essential for profitability and crop optimization.

Power disruptions, internet outages, hardware failures, and ransomware attacks are constant challenges. Veeam provides reliable backup and fast recovery, reducing risk of data loss to near zero. The platform also offers integrated threat detection to secure even remote locations.

The implementation has lowered running costs by 20% compared to competing solutions. It allows Unifrutti to maintain critical audit trails for temperature-sensitive produce. Large volumes of data can be restored in minutes, ensuring business continuity and protecting months of cultivation from IT failures.

Blaauw emphasized that Veeam’s usability and reliability make it the top choice for Unifrutti. “With Veeam Software, we can avoid scenarios where critical crop data is lost and maintain global operations smoothly,” he said.

Veeam Software continues to play a key role in Unifrutti’s mission to deliver fresh fruit worldwide, ensuring non-stop operations and near-perfect data availability.
