How long was UVMMC down last year?

I should've specified that I meant for SaaS, not necessarily for an org's own IT, which is a whole 'nother can of worms. That UVM outage was really something, though.

The fact that no punitive damages were awarded is fucking incredible.

UVM med should burn for this. It took only one entitled employee on vacation with a corporate laptop, a VPN connection and reading personal email to cripple the health care system.

Well done UVM med. You're not too big to fail - you're failing all on your own.

I believe it was November-April to get everything totally restored according to a nurse I know, but their main systems were back up by January.

It was down 25 days. Back entry and recovery took the lab almost 8 months. Back logs and covid and more acutely ill patients after restoration- who knows if that is still happening or some other factor. The hospital is always full.
