Case Study: Southampton FC achieves continuous matchday data availability and 94% faster recovery with Veeam
A Veeam Case Study
Southampton Football Club Signs Veeam for Premier League Success
Southampton Football Club, a Premier League club with 1,600 employees and millions of fans, relied heavily on data for player development, stadium operations and matchday fan experience. Unreliable legacy backups and slow recoveries risked critical systems—like stadium turnstiles, POS and phone lines—causing potential matchday disruption and long manual troubleshooting times.
Southampton deployed Veeam Availability Suite to replace legacy backup, achieving 100% reliable backups, 94% faster recoveries and roughly 500 hours saved annually. Veeam protects 40 TB across 130 Hyper‑V VMs, provides off‑site replication for disaster recovery, and enables faster testing and validation via Veeam DataLabs—keeping matchday systems running and supporting player development and fan engagement.
