Case Study: National Cancer Institute prevents data loss and accelerates restores with Druva

National Cancer Institute Prevents Data Loss with Druva

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH, supports cancer research with a largely mobile workforce and an IT team that manages endpoints for over 8,000 staff and massive volumes of sensitive data. NCI faced “intolerable” data losses because on-the-road devices lacked the redundancy of onsite systems, device refreshes (over 3,000 a year) were time-consuming, and FOIA requests often required forensic teams to physically retrieve files.

NCI deployed Druva’s cloud-native, AWS-based, FedRAMP-compliant platform for centralized backup, archiving, deduplication, remote wipe and discovery. The result: data loss was effectively eliminated, users gained self-service restores (cutting restore times from hours to minutes), FOIA collections no longer required device retrieval, and NCI reduced infrastructure and IT labor costs while accelerating cloud adoption and refocusing IT on mission-critical work.
