Case Study: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center achieves 40% faster backups and stronger protection of vital patient and medical data with Commvault

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Protects Vital Patient And Medical Data, Reduces Backup Times By 40 Percent with CommVault Simpana Software

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), a major Boston teaching hospital, manages petabytes of patient and clinical data across 300+ physical servers, 411 virtual guests and more than 400 applications. Its decade-old legacy backup environment suffered from performance and reliability issues, poor reporting, high administrative overhead and growing retention demands driven by best-practice records management and HIPAA compliance.

BIDMC implemented CommVault Simpana backup and recovery as a single, centrally managed platform with policy automation and flexible licensing. The solution protects 400+ applications (including BIDMC’s custom CCC on InterSystems CACHÉ), provides 99% backup success, fast recoveries and content indexing across petabytes, and reduced time spent on backups by 40%, cutting administration and strengthening data protection.
