Case Study: RC Willey achieves rapid recovery of business-critical systems with Veeam

RC Willey enables recovery of business-critical systems in minutes with Veeam

RC Willey, a Berkshire Hathaway‑owned home retailer operating 10 stores and three distribution centers across the western U.S., depends on uninterrupted order and inventory flows to serve customers. As the company virtualized its infrastructure and the number of VMs grew rapidly, the IT team needed a scalable, highly reliable backup and recovery solution because any downtime or data loss would disrupt operations.

RC Willey chose Veeam Availability Suite and now protects 500+ VMware VMs, 50+ physical servers and about 2PB of data weekly, with air‑gapped tape archiving and tiered backups using Continuous Data Protection for its most critical systems. The result: straightforward, portable disaster recovery, real‑time visibility via Veeam ONE, proven reliability over eight years and near‑instant recovery capability—achieving a five‑second RPO for Tier‑1 systems.
