Case Study: Pederzoli Hospital achieves 35% TCO reduction and faster backup and recovery with Cohesity

Pederzoli Hospital Selects Cohesity+Cisco Multisite Data Management Solution, Realizes 35% TCO Reduction and Superior Compliance

Pederzoli Hospital, a multisite Italian healthcare provider handling roughly 1 million outpatient services and 18,000 surgeries per year, faced growing data volumes (including PACS imaging), complex multisite backups across five locations and two data centres, strict regulatory retention and GDPR requirements, and a need to eliminate backup, archive and file‑sharing silos while improving search, restore speed and ransomware protection.

The hospital ran a PoC and deployed Cohesity DataProtect on Cisco UCS (integrated with Cisco Intersight and SecureX), replacing legacy systems with a unified, web‑scale platform. Results included a 35% reduction in TCO, 25% lower CapEx/OpEx, 40% less storage through 5x deduplication/compression, full‑backup times cut 50–70% (incrementals >50%), and recovery/search times reduced from hours or days to minutes or seconds—plus improved compliance and anti‑ransomware capabilities.
