Case Study: Lakewood Health System achieves unmatched data resilience and portable patient-data protection with Veeam

Lakewood Health System enhances patient care with Veeam's data resilience and portability solutions

Lakewood Health System, a Minnesota healthcare network with one hospital, five clinics, three senior-living facilities and more than 900 clinicians serving ~32,000 patients a year, faced rising cyberattacks and an aging backup stack (EMC Avamar and RecoverPoint) that couldn’t provide immutability or cloud backup — putting data resilience vital to patient care at risk.

By deploying Veeam Data Platform (Premium) and Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, Lakewood gained immutable backups, replica and data portability, scalable orchestrated recovery, and unlimited, fixed-cost cloud storage for Microsoft 365. The result: HIPAA-aligned BCDR, faster recoveries, reduced cyber insurance premiums and sustained delivery of patient care.
