Case Study: Watson Clinic improves disaster recoverability with Iron Mountain cloud and tape storage

Watson clinic solve a storage crunch through offsite storage

Watson Clinic, a major medical provider in Florida, faced the challenge of securely storing and protecting rapidly growing patient data from advanced imaging systems. This data growth strained their existing storage and increased their disaster recovery risks, especially given their location in a hurricane-prone area. They turned to vendor Iron Mountain for a solution involving their tape vaulting and cloud storage services.

Iron Mountain implemented a combined solution using their Tape Vaulting Services and Digital Record Center for Medical Images cloud storage. This provided Watson Clinic with secure, HIPAA-compliant, off-site data protection. The results included significantly improved data security and disaster recoverability, cost-effective archival storage for medical images, and the ability to confidently restore data, ensuring patient care continuity.
