Cloudfabric is a European IT company with over 30 years of experience, supporting the digital transformation of public and private organisations, with a strong presence in the industrial and healthcare sectors.

The company was looking for a solution to simplify data management while ensuring ransomware protection, regulatory compliance, and cost-efficiency. Veeam compatibility was a key requirement, as most of Cloudfabric’s customers rely on this backup client.

Challenge

In recent years, data fragmentation across on-premises systems, public clouds, and local devices has made management increasingly complex. This was further exacerbated by ransomware threats, tightening compliance requirements, and unpredictable costs from traditional storage solutions.

Before adopting Cubbit, Cloudfabric relied on U.S.-based cloud storage services. While these partially met technical needs, they lacked the compliance guarantees required for highly regulated industries, such as the public sector. Additionally, hidden fees led to escalating costs, undermining budget predictability.

Other S3-compatible alternatives also failed to strike the right balance of control, simplicity, and cost transparency. With egress fees, hidden charges, and growing regulatory pressure (GDPR, NIS2), the company’s backup and archiving strategy needed a radical rethink.

Solution

Cloudfabric adopted Cubbit’s cloud object storage as a repository for backup and long-term archiving, integrating it quickly with Veeam thanks to S3 compatibility. Implementation required no changes to the existing infrastructure.

Among the key benefits were immutable backups and native geo-redundancy, which enhanced resilience against ransomware and disasters. Cubbit’s model delivered concrete savings on both storage and operational costs — including maintenance, manual replication management, and egress. This transparent approach enables more predictable budget management.

Cubbit also provides a single, intuitive interface that simplifies data management, setup, and customer service delivery. With data localisation and compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2, and regional regulations, Cloudfabric ensures full data sovereignty and alignment with major security standards.

Performance remained stable and fast, even in complex environments with loads distributed across multiple servers.

Result

“Thanks to its compatibility with tools like Veeam and popular NAS systems, we integrated Cubbit seamlessly into our infrastructure — achieving immutable backups, enhanced security, and up to 80% cost savings compared to traditional providers.”
Roberto Benassi, CEO of Cloudfabric

With Cubbit, Cloudfabric has simplified and strengthened its data protection strategy, improving security, performance, and cost control.

The solution also enabled the company to acquire new customers — especially in healthcare, industry, and transportation — by offering a fully configured and managed service.

Cubbit is now a strategic component of Cloudfabric’s portfolio, empowering the company to meet emerging regulatory demands such as NIS2 — one of the key compliance challenges for European companies in 2025.
