are regarded as among the most
luxurious and innovative in the world
and have won numerous international
travel and tourism awards.
The company was founded in 1997
with the aim of becoming a hospitality
industry leader by establishing a world-
class portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts.
Today, the Jumeirah Group owns and
operates 21 hotel developments in nine
destinations in eight countries. Building

When VMs fail, Veeam begins an automatic
recovery process that fully restores them
four times as fast as the group’s previous

safeguards the group’s meticulously crafted
brand image. Menezes therefore described
the value of Veeam’s instant VM recovery
as ‘intangible’.
Full return on investment in under
two years
Veeam has brought about significant
reductions in management overheads,
and storage requirements, which Menezes
estimates will result in full return on
investment (ROI) on the project being
achieved in under two years. Moreover,
the vendor’s clear roadmap and constant
addition of new features, ensures the
Jumeirah Group now has a solution for long
term success. n
