Case Study: Sisters of Mercy Hospital achieves major SQL backup savings with Idera

Sql Safe Backup Saves Sisters Of Mercy Hospital System

Sisters of Mercy Hospital, one of the largest hospital organizations in the country, was struggling with rapidly growing backup storage needs across more than 400 SQL Server databases supporting hundreds of applications. Using Idera’s SQL Safe Backup, the hospital needed a way to compress backups and integrate with Tivoli Storage Manager while reducing escalating storage costs.

Idera implemented SQL Safe Backup, delivering up to 95% compression on log files and 55–75% on data files, with immediate ROI in the tens of thousands of dollars. The solution also saved 79% in storage on a 10TB database, improved recovery speed versus native tools, and provided centralized management, reporting, and strong TSM integration across a highly virtualized environment.
