Case Study: National Government Services achieves faster backups, 85% faster environment sync and improved reliability with Hitachi Vantara

National Government Services Modernizes Data Center Storage With Hitachi Vantara

National Government Services, an Anthem company and federal healthcare contractor serving about 25 million Medicare beneficiaries, needed to modernize legacy 1990s storage systems that were slowing backups and environment refreshes. They partnered with Hitachi Vantara, deploying the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform with flash module (FMD) technology and leveraging Hitachi Vantara’s Infrastructure Automation Services to replace tape and spinning-disk storage.

Hitachi Vantara implemented FMD solid‑state storage and provided ongoing support, cutting backup time by 38% (from ~6.5 hours to just over 4 hours), reducing non‑live environment sync time by 85% (from 4h15 to ~38 minutes), delivering double‑digit administration efficiency gains and saving about 30 hours of storage administration per month, while increasing reliability and enabling greater innovation.
