Case Study: KAGes achieves maximum patient-data availability and reduced administration effort with Veeam Backup & Replication

With Veeam, KAGes ensures maximum availability of patient data and reduces administration effort

The Steiermärkische Krankenanstaltengesellschaft (KAGes) is one of Europe’s largest healthcare providers, with 18,000+ employees across 26 locations and hundreds of thousands of inpatient and outpatient treatments annually. As digital clinical workflows expanded, KAGes faced rapidly growing numbers of applications and more than a thousand physical and virtual servers, creating an urgent need for a scalable backup strategy to ensure continuous availability and integrity of patient data while reducing administrative burden.

KAGes selected Veeam Backup & Replication with Veeam Agents after testing several solutions; the centralized platform backs up, replicates and restores all workloads, enables granular recoveries (e.g., Exchange/AD items), and uses Instant VM Recovery and storage-snapshot integration for fast, low-impact restores. The result: higher application availability, simplified administration, lower running costs, regular remote replication for disaster recovery, and the ability to meet or exceed RTO/RPO goals.
