Case Study: Leading Health Provider achieves 50% faster backup protection and simplified data management with Cohesity

Leading Health Provider Simplifies Data Management, Reduces Backup Protection Time by 50%

A top-five health system faced a complex, costly backup environment made up of multiple legacy point products (EMC Networker, Avamar, Data Domain) that strained a small IT team and risked gaps in protection for critical systems like Epic, AIX, SQL and VMware. The organization needed a simpler, reliable solution that could accelerate large-data recoveries, reduce manual operations, and strengthen ransomware defenses.

The provider consolidated onto the Cohesity Helios multicloud data platform, using auto-detect/auto-protect, a single-pane management view, global search, and ML-driven anomaly detection with immutable snapshots and DataLock. The move eliminated three legacy products, cut time spent managing protection jobs by 50%, reclaimed roughly four hours per month for other tasks, exceeded performance expectations on a 34TB Epic database, and improved confidence in ransomware recovery.
