Case Study: Hutchinson Regional Medical Center achieves faster, more reliable data protection with Cobalt Iron Hybrid Cloud

HRMC Finds Peace of Mind in Hybrid Cloud Data Protection with Cobalt Iron

Hutchinson Regional Medical Center faced significant challenges with its outdated TSM backup environment, which was unable to keep pace with the hospital's IT growth. As the number of servers nearly tripled in three years, the system suffered from frequent hardware failures, missed backups, and replication times exceeding 24 hours. This created substantial operational risk and placed an unsustainable burden on the stretched IT staff.

Cobalt Iron implemented its Hybrid Cloud Solution with two Accelerators, which was deployed across 170 systems in just three days. The solution from Cobalt Iron eliminated 10-12 hours of weekly administration, reduced stored data by 45%, and achieved a 98.7% backup success rate. Most critically, it enabled faster restores and provided a new, secure disaster recovery model, allowing the medical center to recover patient data from the cloud if its primary data center failed.
