Case Study: Matsumoto Kyoritsu Hospital strengthens ransomware recovery and backup security with ExaGrid

Matsumoto Kyoritsu Hospital strengthens ransomware recovery with ExaGrid's 3X faster backups

Matsumoto Kyoritsu Hospital, a Japanese acute care facility, faced concerns over ransomware threats and sought to strengthen its data protection beyond its existing Veritas Backup Exec and disk storage. The IT manager proactively searched for a backup storage solution with comprehensive security features, specifically an air-gapped architecture, to safeguard critical medical data. They selected the ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage solution for its strong security profile.

ExaGrid implemented its unique two-tier architecture, featuring a network-facing Landing Zone for fast backups and a non-network-facing Repository Tier with Retention Time-Lock for immutable, ransomware-protected data. This provided the hospital with a secure air gap for recovery. The solution's data deduplication efficiently managed large medical imaging files for cost-effective long-term retention, and its scale-out design prepared the hospital for future data growth while maintaining performance.
