Case Study: Maryland Public School System achieves faster, cost-effective backups with Recovery Point’s Veeam BaaS and S3 Cloud

Maryland Public School System cuts backup time from 8 hours to 15 minutes with Recovery Point Systems

The Maryland Public School System faced budget challenges when its existing backup vendor proposed a costly renewal. Their legacy infrastructure of 1,000 physical and virtual servers, including obsolete systems, was complex to manage, and they needed to avoid variable costs to adhere to their strict annual budget. Recovery Point was engaged to provide a more cost-effective Backup as a Service (BaaS) solution.

Recovery Point implemented a Veeam-based BaaS solution, utilizing their fixed-cost S3 Cloud storage. This storage-agnostic approach provided a single dashboard for management and offered technical advantages like compression and deduplication. The results were significant: backup times reduced from eight hours to just 15 minutes, and the school system gained substantial server space savings along with granular file-level restore capabilities.
