Veeam® Software, the leader in backup, recovery, and data management solutions that deliver Modern Data Protection, announced that the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has chosen Veeam Backup & ReplicationTM to help prevent business interruptions while lowering operating costs and providing lower electricity bills to Thai consumers.
Thailand's state-owned power company, EGAT, is in charge of securing and delivering electricity, which is a critical component of the country's infrastructure. As a leader in the utilities market, they must constantly innovate and alter their operations.
The business activities are significantly reliant on the system and technology to run smoothly in order to attain a high degree of performance. EGAT must make certain that the system is not disrupted. A system breakdown will have an impact not only on the system's operations, but also on its distributing agents, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) and the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), which sell electricity directly to customers.
“Today’s world has changed dramatically, and disruptions happen every day. Our challenge is how best to utilise digital technology to support our system and keep the cost of generating as low as possible, so that people can benefit from it,” said Piyapong Voragee, IT Assistant Governor, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).
EGAT collaborated with expert consultants to search for the most suitable data backup and recovery solution to address the various aspects of their operational needs. Veeam Backup & Replication was selected to provide Modern Data Protection to their various systems and ensuring continuous security and stability of electric power moving forward.
“Being one of Thailand’s leading corporations responsible for the country’s utility and power infrastructure, we can’t afford to risk data loss, so we looked for a service provider that specialises in backup and restoring data securely. Veeam is a perfect fit for us with their excellent performance and reasonable costs,” Piyapong said.
