Case Study: Hemit (Health Center Norway ICT unit) reduces RTO by 99% to 3 minutes with Veeam Backup & Replication

Health Center Norway Reduces RTO by 99 percent with Veeam

Health Center Norway, supported by its ICT unit Hemit, operates seven hospitals and six pharmacies and provides IT services to about 20,000 health care professionals. When critical patient data (lab reports, X‑rays and test results) needed to be available 24/7/365, Hemit found its legacy backup could only meet a 12‑hour RTO and set a goal to reduce recovery time to minutes to avoid life‑threatening delays in care.

Hemit replaced legacy backup with Veeam Backup & Replication, protecting 59 VMware vSphere VMs (10.5 TB) to Dell EMC Data Domain with Data Domain Boost, Instant VM Recovery® and On‑Demand Sandbox™ for safe testing. The result: RTO dropped from 12 hours to three minutes (a 99% reduction), continuous availability of critical data, faster recoveries and improved operational efficiency with scalable support for future vSAN growth.
