Most critical operations at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) such as the library management system run on virtual machines (VMs). Physical machines are equally important because they also run key systems such as email.
It was becoming too expensive to maintain identical storage systems in both data centres. Purchasing hardware and agents was becoming cost-prohibitive, so they were looking for a better replication solution.
It didn’t take long to determine that Veeam would be an excellent solution for their needs. Veeam® Backup & Replication™ provides fast, flexible and reliable recovery of virtualised applications and data for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. The school’s IT team found that image-based replication with Veeam was fast, efficient and cost-effective.
SysGroup is fully accredited Veeam Gold Partner and VMware Enterprise Partner, and helped LSHTM with a solution that fit their budget and addressed their IT challenges.

Testimonial
We have peace of mind as an IT team, because we know that Veeam offers us near-CDP through frequent VM snapshots. We will always have a replica VM in case of emergency. We’ll continue to use Veeam for VM backup alongside ARCserve for our physical machines. These solutions complement each other at LSHTM, and help us to control costs and simplify our IT infrastructure.
