Case Study: Limestone School District achieves nonstop Student Information System availability, cloud DR and $70,000 annual savings with Veeam

School Board Protects Student Information System, Develops Cloud DR Strategy and Saves $70,000 Annually

Limestone District School Board, which serves more than 19,000 students across 57 schools, faced a critical challenge: its Student Information System (SIS)—the central hub for grades, attendance, registration and special‑needs data—needed guaranteed availability and protection from data loss that could halt district operations and impede student support.

Zycom implemented Veeam Availability Suite to replace legacy backups, protecting 120 VMware VMs (30 TB) on‑premises and replicating them to HostedBizz’s private cloud to create the board’s first cloud disaster‑recovery strategy. The solution ensures fast failover and nonstop SIS availability, eliminates the risk of data loss, and reduced IT costs—saving the district $70,000 annually.
