I work at University of Illinois Hospital Health and Sciences as a manager for the data management team. UA Health is a hospital in the heart of Chicago. We used to use an older application that really just did a backup and a restore process. So we needed to find a new strategy, right? When we looked at Veeam, the differences between the old strategy and the new strategy is data resilience. UA Health chose Veeam because we had a project where we needed to provide a backup and recovery instance of a physical machine. We chose Veeam as our first proof of concept. So we ended up doing a successful test, meeting our requirements, and we chose Veeam to move on with our main backup platform to replace our old one. We're able to see what we were doing right and where we needed to improve. We recently started with the Veeam Cybersecure platform. It took all of those industry best practices and put them into a format that we can address each bullet point to put those best practices into play. We are currently going through our quarterly assessments as part of the Veeam Cybersecure program, and this will help us ensure our data resilience. We're expanding our covert footprint for monitoring and assessing on-premise security threats within the Veeam data platform. And we're also working with covert support to create our security response team for UA Health. If we ever have a question on architecture, I can always reach out to support to ask them a question.

TL;DR

  • UI Health replaced an aging backup solution with Veeam after a successful proof of concept demonstrated the platform's ability to handle physical machine backup and recovery requirements.
  • The hospital adopted Veeam Cyber Secure program to implement industry best practices through structured quarterly assessments and improve overall data resilience posture.
  • UI Health is expanding on-premise security threat monitoring within the Veeam platform and building a dedicated security response team with Veeam support assistance.

Summary

Richard Robledo, Manager of the Data Management Team at University of Illinois Hospital Health and Sciences (UI Health), describes the organization's transition from a legacy backup solution to Veeam's modern data platform. The Chicago-based hospital system needed to move beyond basic backup and restore capabilities to achieve true data resilience. After a successful proof of concept involving physical machine backup and recovery, UI Health selected Veeam as their primary backup platform. The organization has since adopted the Veeam Cyber Secure program, which provides structured best practices and quarterly assessments to ensure ongoing data resilience. UI Health is now expanding their security monitoring capabilities and working with Veeam support to establish a dedicated security response team for the hospital system.

FAQ

Why did UI Health choose Veeam over other backup solutions?

UI Health selected Veeam after conducting a proof of concept that successfully met their requirements for backing up and recovering a physical machine. The platform's focus on data resilience rather than just backup and restore capabilities was a key differentiator from their legacy solution.

What is the Veeam Cyber Secure program that UI Health is using?

The Veeam Cyber Secure program provides structured industry best practices for data protection and security, delivered through quarterly assessments. It helps organizations like UI Health systematically implement and maintain data resilience measures while monitoring on-premise security threats within the Veeam platform.
