Objective
Reduce potential downtime risk of hurricanes
on hospital operations. Existing disaster recovery methods take at
least 12-24 hours to effect recovery, and even then, using stale data.
Health First seeks order-of-magnitude improvement in recovery time
along with ensuring that patient data is up to date.
Insight
“Being able to mirror across different
storage systems is huge, not only for disaster recovery, but also
for peace of mind.”
Joel Otero, Systems Engineer, Health First
Objective
Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Tennessee in Chattanooga needed a storage
solution that allowed them to place their HP 3000 servers in a FC
SAN based on IBM ESS storage.
Insight
" The Vicom engine provided a simple solution that used our existing
disk storage and ensured tremendous savings. We didn't have to buy
new storage, which would have cost us several hundreds of thousands
of dollars more."
