Case Study: Incyte Diagnostics achieves 95% faster clinical data backups with Druva Phoenix on AWS

Incyte Diagnostics Accelerates Clinical Data Backup by 95% Using Druva on AWS

Incyte Diagnostics, a 60+-year provider of anatomic and clinical pathology with three laboratories across the Pacific Northwest, faced a slow, manual backup workflow for critical clinical data and digital pathology scans. With just two IT staff managing the environment, their legacy solution—relying on a single server array and separate upload tools—made daily backups time-consuming and hindered compliance with data retention requirements.

Incyte implemented Druva Phoenix, a SaaS data-protection solution built on AWS (using Amazon S3 and S3 Glacier Deep Archive) through Druva, an AWS Advanced Technology Partner. The automated, deduplicated cloud backups cut backup time by 95%, simplified restores for VMware and Microsoft SQL servers, strengthened security and archival capabilities, and freed IT to focus on initiatives like opening a new lab and modernizing infrastructure.
