Veeam Software for University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Delivering hyper-available data at massive scale, "$200,000 in annual savings"

Veeam Software, Inc. announced that the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has chosen the company to ensure that critical data and applications, especially those associated with its IP used by faculty and students, are continuously available, fostering a creative and innovative environment for meaningful research.

Veeam will help UNLV deliver a comprehensive, data-driven and easy-to-manage hyper-availability solution that not ensures every backup is recoverable and meets compliance requirements, and also will produce annual savings of $200,000 for the university, according to UNLV officials.

In a top tier university, IT must function as a strategic partner and not as a cost center,” said John Nicpon, manager of systems engineering, UNLV.

Veeam is feature rich, yet the initial cost was similar to the renewal cost – just the renewal cost – of one of the previous solutions,” he explains. “When you combine what we saved by eliminating those solutions with the management hours we saved is roughly $200,000 per year. Veeam has been a huge win for us.

UNLV has grown from a small branch college that opened its doors for the first time in 1957 into a thriving urban research institution that serves the needs of more than 40,000 users. For the academic community of such scale, data loss and downtime would be devastating. Besides setting researchers back years and causing them to lose funding, data loss could prevent students from submitting assignments and graduating on time.

Data is the driving force at all universities because it enables innovation. Our data must be hyper-available to support our researchers,” Nicpon. “Veeam helps us create an academic environment where faculty and students can make cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs. Veeam is the ace in our pocket for intelligent data management.”

Veeam Availability Suite is replacing four legacy IT solutions that could not guarantee reliable recovery or data protection. It combines the backup, restoration and replication capabilities of Backup & Replication with the monitoring, reporting and capacity planning functionality of Veeam ONE. Because Availability Suite is integrated into the global supply chain processes and systems of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, a Veeam Global Alliance Partner, the solution was easily integrated with HPE storage solution (3PAR StoreServ and StoreOnce) to which UNLV transitioned.

When we look at the most prestigious universities in the country, it’s apparent that digital transformation is one of the keys to expanding research opportunities and attracting the finest minds,” said Danny Allan, VP of product strategy, Veeam. “Veeam is proud to support UNLV on its journey to become a top tier university, helping them complete their digital transformation journey and ensuring its data and critical applications remain available at all times.”

Veeam is a game-changer for us,” Nicpon added. “This is the first time we’ve been able to standardize and simplify data management. We’ve reached a level of flexibility we’ve never had before, and we can respond to the needs of the university faster than ever.”
