Case Study: City of Lynchburg achieves 99% faster setup and 93% faster performance data collection with Veeam Monitor (Veeam)

Veeam Monitor Becomes Essential Tool in City’s Virtual Management Toolbox

The City of Lynchburg IT department, which supports about 1,000 users and has virtualized roughly half its infrastructure, needed a monitoring tool that could gather performance data directly from VMware ESX/ESXi hosts. Their previous solution only received SNMP traps from ESXi, forcing staff to manually collect host metrics from administrators — a slow, inefficient process — so the city sought an easy-to-use, cost-effective monitor compatible with ESXi.

They chose Veeam Monitor, which was quick to install and configured in minutes, provided the host-level performance charts they needed, and gave administrators direct access to data. As a result, installation and configuration became 99% faster, performance data collection 93% faster, and support proved reliable; Veeam Monitor is now an essential part of Lynchburg’s virtual management toolbox and prompted evaluation of Veeam Backup & Replication.
