Case Study: Mohawk Valley Health System achieves 96% faster Epic recovery and scalable protection with Veeam

Mohawk Valley Health System protects Epic with Veeam

Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS), a not‑for‑profit health system serving about 300,000 patients across 25 locations in central New York, moved to the Epic electronic health record to improve clinician coordination and reduce duplicated care. Before Epic, MVHS relied on legacy backup that lacked scalability, application‑aware protection, granular recovery and effective monitoring—putting critical services like Active Directory (and therefore clinician access to Epic) at risk as the environment grew.

With Advizex’s recommendation, MVHS deployed Veeam Availability Suite integrated with HPE storage, backing up 200 TB across 700 VMs and following a 3‑2‑1 strategy. Veeam delivered application‑aware backups, granular AD recovery in minutes, advanced monitoring and capacity planning, and up to 96% faster recoveries—providing the scalability, reliability and proactive alerts MVHS needed to keep Epic and critical systems available.
