Case Study: HireRight achieves 99% faster backup and $1M annual savings with Veeam

HireRight Helps the World’s Biggest Brands Hire Top Talent and Saves $1 million per Year with Veeam and HPE Nimble Storage

HireRight is a global leader in pre-employment screening, serving more than 40,000 customers in 200 countries and handling over 12 million background checks a year for employers including nearly half of the Fortune 100. The company required near-constant system availability and fast turnaround to meet service-level agreements and regulatory requirements (FCRA, GDPR), but legacy backup and recovery processes risked downtime, slow restores and compliance challenges.

By replacing its legacy backup with Veeam Availability Suite and HPE Nimble Storage CS-5000, HireRight now protects 5,000 VMware VMs (1.2 PB) from Nimble snapshots and has increased backup and recovery speed by 99%. The solution delivers 99.9% uptime, reduced fail-over times by hours, supports 12.5 million checks per year, simplified regional data segregation for compliance, and cut costs (about $1M annually) by eliminating tape/offsite storage and freeing two FTEs for other roles.
