Case Study: Yale New Haven Hospital protects HPF data cost-effectively with BridgeHead Software

Yale-New Haven Hospital - Customer Case Study

Yale New Haven Hospital, Connecticut’s largest medical center and a four-hospital system, needed a practical way to protect its McKesson Horizon Patient Folders (HPF) data. As HPF data grew rapidly, the hospital found that traditional backup and recovery methods were not a good fit for the application’s data structure or scale.

BridgeHead Software provided an archive solution designed to manage HPF’s millions of small files by moving older, static data into a centrally managed archive with deduplication, compression, and encryption. BridgeHead Software’s self-protecting archive helped Yale New Haven Hospital protect HPF data quickly, easily, and cost-effectively while reducing reliance on expensive tier-one storage and third-party backup software.
