Case Study: Butler Health System achieves 24/7 EMR availability and avoids HIPAA fines with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Helps Health Care Provider Avoid HIPAA Violations and Fines up to $1.5 million

Butler Health System, a century-old healthcare provider operating 60 facilities in western Pennsylvania, faced a critical data protection challenge: legacy backup could not reliably back up and verify all electronic medical record (EMR) data daily, putting patient care at risk and exposing the organization to potential HIPAA fines of up to $1.5 million.

By deploying Veeam Backup & Replication, BHS gained 24/7 availability with SureBackup verification and Instant VM Recovery for fast restores; integration with Dell EMC Data Domain boosted backup speed by 75% and saved the IT team about eight hours per week. The result: guaranteed daily, recoverable EMR backups, reduced risk of data loss and HIPAA penalties, and more time to invest in cybersecurity.
