Case Study: Chicago-based hospital achieves uninterrupted uptime and automated, HIPAA-compliant secure file transfers with Globalscape EFT Enterprise

Hospital Gains Optimal Uptime with EFT Enterprise

A Chicago-based hospital faced unreliable legacy file transfers that threatened patient care and compliance when systems went down. To address high-volume internal and external data exchange needs, the hospital engaged Globalscape and deployed Globalscape’s Enhanced File Transfer (EFT) Enterprise with High Availability (HA) to replace the aging infrastructure.

Globalscape implemented EFT Enterprise in an Active-Active HA cluster, added automated workflows and node monitoring, and deployed the Globalscape DMZ Gateway to secure external connections. The result was uninterrupted file transfers and automated policy enforcement (HIPAA/PCI DSS), elimination of downtime risk, reduced manual processing and overtime costs, and measurable improvements in operational efficiency and business continuity.
