Case Study: CHU Dijon Bourgogne achieves 96% faster restores and reliable protection of critical medical data with Veeam

CHU Dijon-Bourgogne deploys Veeam to safeguard critical medical data and maintain quality of care

CHU Dijon‑Bourgogne is a 1,800‑bed university hospital in France that provides 24/7 emergency care, research and long‑term clinical services. With an active‑active high‑availability storage cluster and years of PACS and patient records to retain (legal retention 20 years), the hospital needed a disaster‑proof backup strategy to prevent downtime, data corruption or loss from accidents or cyberattacks.

Using Veeam Data Platform — Advanced and a layered 3‑2‑1‑1‑0 approach (including NAS backups to Scality object storage, offline tape, encryption and SureBackup recoverability testing), CHU Dijon‑Bourgogne reduced restore times by 96% (a 2 TB VM went from two days to two hours) and can recover a 100 GB VM in under 10 minutes. The solution enables full daily backups of nearly 1 PB, gives confidence in recoverability, and strengthens protection against corruption and ransomware.
