Summary
Olivier Auschitzky, Infrastructure & Systems Manager at Groupe AGRICA, describes how his organization protects approximately 900 servers, 1,500 virtual workstations, and nearly 300 terabytes of data serving France's agricultural insurance sector. AGRICA chose Veeam for its simplicity, reliability, and efficiency in managing backup operations with a small team handling an extensive infrastructure scope. The organization leverages Veeam's automated Instant Recovery testing to verify that restored servers and services function correctly, ensuring business continuity for critical member services like retirement payments and health reimbursements. AGRICA recently migrated to Veeam Data Cloud for Office 365 protection, addressing stability challenges with their previous on-premises backup approach. The cloud-to-cloud backup solution provides faster operations and simplified management while helping AGRICA demonstrate compliance with EU regulations NIS2 and DORA through immutable backup capabilities. Auschitzky emphasizes that data resilience is paramount in an environment where cyberattacks and IT failures could have catastrophic consequences for members depending on timely access to benefits and services.
