Case Study: Ellis Medicine lowers compliance risk and centralizes data and security management with Commvault

Ellis Medicine Lowers Compliance Risk With Integrated End-to-End Data and Security Management Solution From CommVault and McAfee

Ellis Medicine, the sole acute-care provider in Schenectady County with three main campuses, faced rapid data growth—about 70 TB—driven by mergers and medical imaging, plus diverse clinical applications and strict HIPAA retention requirements. A patchwork of backup and recovery tools created high administrative overhead and limited visibility into compliance and data protection.

The hospital consolidated backup, recovery and archiving with CommVault Simpana integrated into McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator for a single, customizable dashboard. The integrated solution delivered automated alerts and faster restores, Exchange journaling and centralized archives, reduced primary storage costs by as much as 75%, lowered administrative effort, improved compliance and scaled to support virtualization and mailbox growth.
