Case Study: Southworth Consultants Limited achieves 99% faster installs and worry-free, high-speed replication with Veeam Backup & Replication

Consulting Firm Recommends Veeam Backup & Replication in All Client DR Plans

Southworth Consultants Limited, a Nassau-based IT consultancy serving corporations and financial institutions, helps clients design cost-effective network and disaster recovery (DR) plans. While vetting DR solutions for virtual environments, they found a competing product that was difficult to install, required extensive tweaking and constant monitoring, and replicated VMware servers very slowly — so they set out to find a VMware-integrated solution that actually delivered.

After testing Veeam Backup & Replication in their own environment (86 VMs on four hosts), Southworth adopted and now recommends it to all clients. Veeam installed and became operational in 15–30 minutes versus up to two weeks previously, eliminated the need for constant replication monitoring, and dramatically increased transfer speeds (previously 4–5 days to move 5 TB). Results included a 99% reduction in installation time, faster, more reliable replication, and near-continuous data protection using VMware changed-block tracking.
