Case Study: Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) achieves 88% faster backups and 87% less troubleshooting time with Veeam

Business-centric Monitoring Enables Proactive VMware Management

Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD), the largest undergraduate institution in Texas, had virtualized heavily—running about 250 VMs on 16 VMware ESXi hosts—but struggled to monitor and manage them with the VMware client. IT needed business‑unit views to measure performance and reallocate resources, and their agent‑based backups simultaneously overloaded ESX servers, producing long backup windows and operational risk.

DCCCD deployed Veeam Monitor, Veeam Business View and Veeam Backup & Replication to gain business‑centric monitoring, grouped views of mission‑critical servers, and agentless backups. The solution provided clear per‑business‑unit visibility for faster resource decisions, reduced troubleshooting and reporting time by 87% (from 1–2 hours to 10–15 minutes), and dramatically accelerated backups (reported improvement of about 88%).
