Business Challenge

Tulay Akyol Dental Center is a private oral and dental health center in Türkiye that uses the most current equipment and offers the most up-to-date treatment options from aesthetic dentistry, laser dentistry, prosthetic applications, and orthodontic applications to implant applications and surgical applications. Approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the clinic makes up its mind to be a sector leader in adapting requirements and technology advancements to the structure.

To fulfill its mission as a leading company in the industry, Tulay Akyol Dental Center updates a series of high-tech equipment such as a 3D extraoral imaging system, teledentistry applications, appointment software, etc. for patients’ appointments, examinations, teledentistry, and advanced dental treatment solutions. While they connect the effective treatment process, the data generated from these facilities are enormous. Thus, the clinic virtualized its IT systems and moved the data to VMware.

But virtualization is not the end of the story for it still confronts data and financial loss risks due to accidents or disasters if not protected properly. Therefore, the dental center embarks on the journey to find a reliable VMware backup solution, which is good at simple backup and recovery to ensure electronic media errors and failures are swiftly corrected so that patient health information can be recovered accurately and intact. 

Other than that, the pandemic also highlighted the significance of secure patient data access for dentists operating from home. However, recent ransomware and widely publicized malware hacks on dental offices have made consumers afraid of having their personal health information (PHI) stolen, while practices are anxious about being locked out of their data and potentially violating HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

Speaking of HIPAA, Tulay Akyol Dental Center also needs physical and technical safeguards for sensitive patient data, which requires tracking logs that record activities, and transmission security protection against unauthorized access.

Vinchin Solution

After a thorough search and comparison, Tulay Akyol Dental Center chose Vinchin Backup & Recovery at last. “Vinchin Backup & Recovery perfectly streamlines VMware backup and recovery. We can carry out the tasks easily with its support in a matter of minutes. To comply with HIPAA, we archive our procedures data to the public cloud. It fits our needs in every aspect,” said the Systems Administrator of Tulay Akyol Dental Center.

Vinchin Backup & Recovery makes full use of the CBT interface VMware provided to accelerate the backup process. Data compression and deduplication are optional for the clinic to reduce data size and improve backup efficiency further. “We have HotAdd mode available specialized for the VMware, which speeds it up a lot. Moreover, the schedules are settable. You can see how great this software is in customer’s experience,” said the Systems Administrator.

To fend off potential threat actors, the software employs an anti-ransomware technique on backup storage protection to prevent backups saved in it from any unauthorized attempts of modifying. The transmission path can be encrypted in the backup process and a verification password is needed to restore. No one, in that case, but the creator will get to the backups.

Proving compliance is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. HIPAA states that entities must keep records of any action for a minimum of 6 years since the document was created. The corporation undertakes internal audits for every external audit to uncover problems before they become serious. To achieve that end, the company archives all procedures and policies implemented up to the cloud for data retention using Vinchin Backup & Recovery. The backup system records all task operations that can be traced according to the logs for compliance with regulations.
