Case Study: Vallejo Sanitation & Flood Control District achieves 60% faster backups and thousands in savings with Veeam

Veeam Integration with HP Storage Optimizes Data Protection

Vallejo Sanitation & Flood Control District, a California public utility, rebuilt its IT environment to 96% virtualization with four VMware hosts and more than 90 VMs supporting critical services. The district faced slow, costly agent-based backups (more than 26 agents), rapid VM growth, and the need for a fast, agentless solution that would integrate seamlessly with its HP LeftHand and StoreOnce infrastructure.

The district deployed Veeam Backup & Replication integrated with HP StoreOnce and LeftHand, cutting backup time by about 60% (from ~2 hours to ~30 minutes per server), enabling more frequent backups, and delivering combined deduplication better than 8:1 (15 TB stored as 1.6 TB). The implementation eliminated agent fees, saved thousands of dollars in licensing and storage, simplified management, and provided faster, more reliable recovery options.
