Case Study: Together Housing Group achieves £80K annual savings and 56% faster VM backups with Veeam Backup & Replication

Together Housing Group manages backup, replication across multiple offices

Together Housing Group, a non-profit provider of more than 35,000 homes across the North of England with 1,500 staff in 20 offices, needed a cost-effective, scalable VM backup and replication solution that was simple to deploy and manage across multiple sites. Traditional backup tools proved complex, costly (agent and replication fees), and unreliable for their large virtual environment, so the organization sought a streamlined alternative.

They adopted Veeam Backup & Replication, an agentless, combined backup-and-replication solution that one administrator can manage. Veeam cut backup time by 56% (from 16 to 7 hours), delivers 10× faster full-VM restores and 1‑Click file recovery, and eliminated about £80,000 a year in agent and third‑party replication costs, while its distributed architecture simplified deployment and scaling across offices.
