Case Study: The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust improves backup health with HYCU

UK hospital group improves its overall backup health with HYCU

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, a UK hospital group serving nearly half a million people, needed to modernize its aging VMware environment and improve backup and disaster recovery for critical systems like Windows Active Directory, DFS, and SQL servers. As it moved to Nutanix AHV, the trust wanted more frequent backups without hurting production performance, and selected HYCU’s purpose-built backup and recovery for Nutanix.

HYCU helped the trust simplify backup setup with application auto-discovery and one-click protection, while integrating smoothly with Nutanix Prism. The result was faster backups, hourly SQL server backups, improved Recovery Time Objective, and a nearly 100% backup success rate compared with about 85% before, giving The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust a more reliable, low-touch backup process with HYCU.
