Building on its success with Veeam , Enloe decided to deploy Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 . Employees throughout the hospital depend on Outlook for email and calendar capabilities , while back-office staff rely on Teams and SharePoint for everyday collaboration .
“ As soon as we purchased Microsoft 365 licenses , we turned to Veeam to protect the environment ,” said Addington .
“ We looked at other providers , but Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 ties in perfectly with our current approach to data protection because it offers easy integration and straightforward management , so it was the natural choice .”
Enloe is now exploring backing up data to the cloud using Veeam . The hospital is also considering a future without tape backups .
WE CAN RUN A TEST RESTORE WHENEVER WE WANT , GIVING US PEACE OF MIND THAT WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT RECOVERY WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE EVENT OF A DISASTER .
“ The next step for us might be backing up Microsoft 365 to Microsoft Azure ,” said Addington . “ We ’ re also considering AWS . The beauty of Veeam is we know that it will work seamlessly with either . Veeam immutable backups offer an appealing alternative to tapes , which would mean less manual effort and risk . With Veeam , we ’ re achieving our goal of empowering our healthcare professionals to deliver the patient-centred care that sets Enloe apart .”
“ Today ’ s technology world is plagued with bad actors who relentlessly target healthcare organisations and their data ,” said Christopher Webb , Director , IT Infrastructure and Service Operations at Enloe Medical Center . “ Gone are the days of only worrying about accidental file deletion or corruption . Preparing and defending against these evil-doers is a must – the Veeam solution has enabled us to precisely do that .” �
The results
• Cut data restore times by as much as 99 %, contributing to greater employee productivity . “ We get at least two requests a week to restore files or emails that were accidentally deleted ,” said Addington . “ With Veeam , we can respond in as little as an hour rather than the two weeks it could take before .”
• Saved 20 hours per week on backup administration , boosting operational efficiency . By redeploying resources previously dedicated to managing backups , Enloe ’ s IT team can work more effectively . The hospital has also reduced risk since backup expertise is no longer confined to a few staff members .
• Avoided paying a ransom by recovering data with Veeam . “ By investing in better data protection with Veeam , we were prepared when we experienced a cyber incident ,” said Addington . “ Within 48 hours , we had 25 % of our critical systems back online , which rose to 75 % in 96 hours and 95 % in two weeks . Thanks to Veeam , we responded and recovered efficiently and expertly , allowing our hospital operations to continue providing excellent patient care .”
