Case Study: Strand Diagnostics achieves simplified, HIPAA‑compliant backup and disaster recovery with Asigra Cloud Backup

Strand Diagnostics simplifies data backup and DR using one comprehensive platform

Strand Diagnostics, an Indianapolis-based provider of DNA and specimen testing that must meet strict HIPAA protections, was operating with a fragmented, labor-intensive “Frankenstein” approach to backups that left critical lab systems and Office 365 data at risk. When Echopath took over IT management, they prioritized continuous uptime for scientists and secure, repeatable data protection that met FIPS 140-2/AES-256 encryption requirements for medical information.

Echopath rapidly deployed an agentless, multi‑tier Asigra Cloud Backup platform—covering local Virtual Disaster Recovery for VMware, cloud‑to‑cloud Office 365 protection, offsite backups and long‑term archive—to consolidate all backup and DR processes. The single solution now protects nearly 2 TB (post‑dedupe/compression) with nightly local and offsite backups, faster recoveries, fewer vendor contracts and significantly reduced time and worry for Strand’s compliance and operations teams.
