Case Study: United Regional Healthcare System condenses disaster recovery into a single rack with Cima Solutions Group and IBM PureFlex

United Regional Healthcare System - Customer Case Study

United Regional Healthcare System, a long-established healthcare provider serving Wichita Falls and surrounding areas, needed to build a disaster recovery site in early 2013 but faced a major space constraint with little floor space and no room for expansion. The organization turned to Cima Solutions Group for help, and after a RightSafe workshop to assess and tier its applications, the team identified the need for a compact DR solution.

Cima Solutions Group designed a disaster recovery environment built on IBM PureFlex, combining Intel and AIX servers, storage, server virtualization, compression, and unified management into a single rack. With VMware Site Recovery Manager and v7000 compression, United Regional reduced storage requirements and simplified DR operations, and Cima Solutions Group helped get the facility installed and functional in just two weeks.
