Case Study: Spital Triemli achieves 70% cost savings and instant, secure recovery with NexentaStor by Nexenta

Spital Triemli - Customer Case Study

Spital Triemli is a municipal hospital in the Zurich region with 11 clinics, more than 500 beds and over 30,000 patients a year. Facing rapid data growth and a three-tier backup strategy, the IT team needed an affordable, secure second‑tier storage solution that could host daily snapshots and provide instant recovery for critical virtualized applications (including a 24/7 radiology system) within a very limited budget.

They deployed NexentaStor on white‑box servers (two enclosures providing ~250 TB) using ZFS for end‑to‑end data protection, delivered by Swiss partner Q5; the system was selected for cost, scalability and no vendor lock‑in and was up and running within days. The hospital estimates a roughly 70% reduction in investment, gained instant‑recovery volumes for critical VMs, full data integrity and predictable, low‑cost expansion moving forward.
