Case Study: Firelands Regional Medical Center achieves reliable, cost-effective backups with ExaGrid

Firelands Regional Medical Center Simplifies Backups with ExaGrid

Firelands Regional Medical Center, the largest comprehensive medical provider in Sandusky, Ohio, struggled with unreliable nightly backups due to frequent mechanical and connectivity problems with tape libraries housed in a remote, dusty closet. The tape failures forced IT to spend excessive time troubleshooting and left critical patient and operational data at risk.

Firelands replaced tape with an ExaGrid disk‑based backup appliance that integrated with its existing CA ARCserve Backup, offering easy deployment, remote management, and byte‑level deduplication. The solution eliminated mechanical failures, reduced storage needs and costs, preserved their ARCserve investment, and delivered fast, reliable backups backed by proactive ExaGrid support.
