Case Study: Kingston Technology achieves fast, reliable tier-1 backup and recovery with Veeam Backup & Replication

Kingston Chooses Veeam to Safeguard Virtualized Tier 1 Applications in R&D Lab

Kingston Technology’s R&D lab, which conducts extensive product and IT performance testing, needed a fast, reliable backup and recovery solution before virtualizing tier‑1 applications like SAP and Microsoft SQL Server. The team sought a high‑performance solution that could protect resource‑intensive, business‑critical VMs and meet strict SLAs for recovery time and point objectives.

Kingston chose Veeam Backup & Replication; in testing Veeam completed a full 1.5 TB SQL backup across three VMs in two hours (incrementals under one hour) versus 12/4 hours on physical systems, and full recovery in two hours versus 10+ hours previously. The deployment delivered powerful, easy VM protection, significantly faster backups and restores, and improved RTOs and RPOs (RTO ≈ 2 hours, RPO potentially under 8 hours), enabling Kingston to virtualize its tier‑1 applications with confidence.
