Case Study: University of Kansas Medical Center achieves faster, compliant backup recovery with HYCU and Wasabi

University of Kansas Medical Center boosts backup coverage from 40% to 100% with HYCU

The University of Kansas Medical Center faced significant challenges with its outdated, manual tape backup system. Using aging Catalogic software, the institution was only backing up about 40% of its critical application server data, and the restoration process was slow and complex, often taking days and requiring manual intervention. To modernize its data protection, the medical center implemented a purpose-built cloud-native data protection solution from vendor HYCU for its Nutanix environment.

HYCU's solution automated the backup process and integrated seamlessly with Wasabi's hot cloud storage. This eliminated manual scheduling and tape handling, increased backup coverage to 100% of critical servers, and reduced recovery times from days to just a few clicks. The implementation resulted in significant time savings for the IT team, reduced costs, and enhanced resiliency against cyber threats through immutable backups, all while ensuring compliance with HIPAA and HITECH regulations.
