Case Study: RelayHealth achieves assured business continuity and dramatically faster backups with OpenText Data Protection

Micro Focus Data Protection longevity testifies to quality of engineering and support

RelayHealth, a McKesson business that connects patients, providers, payers and pharmacies, needed to ensure continuous access to clinical, financial and administrative data to improve patient outcomes and meet regulatory requirements. The challenge was protecting rapidly growing and diverse data across multiple sites, platforms and operating systems while maintaining tight SLAs and business continuity.

By standardizing on Micro Focus Data Protection integrated with HPE StoreOnce appliances, RelayHealth consolidated backups (now over 1.2 PB across 2,200 file systems with ~60 TB backed up daily), eliminated tape, and implemented federated deduplication, encryption and cross‑site replication. The unified solution simplified management (two FTEs handle the environment), reduced network load and costs, improved SLAs, and dramatically sped recovery—one SQL job cut from 15 hours to 35 minutes—while delivering long‑term reliability and strong support.
