Case Study: University College Sjælland achieves 24x7 availability and 99.9% uptime with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam and Cisco UCS C3260 Guarantee Students and Faculty Have 24x7 Access to Systems and Information at University College

University College Sjælland, a Danish higher-education institution serving 10,500 students across six campuses, faced unreliable backups and slow recoveries that threatened 24x7 access to course systems and email — outsourcing hadn’t solved the problem and users needed guaranteed availability.

By deploying Veeam Backup & Replication on a Cisco UCS C3260 rack server, the college now backs up 380 VMs (50 TB) directly from NFS with no impact on VMware, achieving 60% faster backups and 75% faster recoveries, up to four times more frequent restore points, effortless handling of 30% annual data growth, monthly outsourcing savings of thousands of kroner, and essentially 99.9% uptime.
