Case Study: UNC Health achieves 50% faster backup times and 100% recoverability with Commvault

How UNC Health Secures Patient Data While Cutting Backup Times in Half

UNC Health, North Carolina’s largest academic health system, needed a stronger backup and data protection strategy to keep up with rapidly growing data across thousands of systems and hundreds of locations, while meeting healthcare compliance and patient privacy requirements. Using Commvault Cloud, the team aimed to consolidate several backup tools into one platform that could support a hybrid environment and scale with acquisitions and cloud growth.

Commvault implemented a hardware-neutral, enterprise-grade data protection platform for UNC Health, adding encryption, immutability, role-based access controls, and auditing to strengthen compliance and cyber resilience. The results were significant: UNC Health achieved 100% data recoverability success, reduced backup times by 50%, met backup service-level agreements, and streamlined its infrastructure by moving to a single platform.
