Case Study: LMU Klinikum achieves secure, highly available IT to protect 500,000 patients per year with Veeam

LMU Klinikum uses Veeam to protect the healthcare of 500,000 patients per year

LMU Klinikum, one of Europe’s largest university hospitals serving about 500,000 patients a year, needed highly available, secure IT to support its digitalized clinical workflows across 1,200 mostly virtualized servers. Rising ransomware threats and a legacy backup solution that was manual, hard to use and dependent on external support put patient care and operations at risk.

The IT team deployed Veeam Availability Suite to back up all virtual machines and ~30 physical servers (≈400 TB), store dual copies on NetApp and Hitachi arrays plus offline tape, and run automated recovery tests with SureBackup alongside Veeam ONE monitoring. As a result, systems can be restored within minutes, staff workload and external service costs were reduced, and the hospital now has verifiable, auditable recovery processes that keep clinical applications available and secure.
