Case Study: Province of South Holland (Provincie Zuid Holland) achieves minutes-fast VMware recovery and infrastructure optimization with Veeam Backup & Replication

The Province of South Holland manages VMware environment with Veeam

The Province of South Holland, a regional government organization of about 2,500 employees, runs 300+ virtual servers supporting 300–500 applications, including 50 critical systems. Faced with the need for a reliable, user-friendly backup/recovery solution and better monitoring for its VMware environment, the province sought a tool that delivered fast restores, deduplication and seamless integration with vCenter.

They implemented Veeam Backup & Replication and the Veeam nworks Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM. The Veeam solution eliminated agent installs, enabled single-VM backups that can be retained for months, and cut recovery times from hours (or days with scripts) to minutes; nworks provided comprehensive monitoring and infrastructure optimization. The result: an intuitive GUI, dependable emergency recovery, improved virtualization performance, and responsive technical support.
