Case Study: Prime Healthcare reduces disaster recovery time from days to hours with Semperis ADFR

Prime Healthcare Slashes AD Disaster Recovery Time with Semperis ADFR

Prime Healthcare, a California-based healthcare organization with 45 hospitals across 14 states, needed a faster and more reliable way to recover Active Directory after a maintenance incident deleted storage containing many domain controllers. The company relied on AD for authentication to mission- and patient-critical systems, so long recovery times posed a serious risk to patient care and operational continuity.

Semperis implemented Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR) to streamline backup, testing, and full forest recovery with flexible scheduling, automated notifications, and an isolated test environment. With Semperis ADFR at the center of its disaster recovery plan, Prime Healthcare reduced AD recovery from days to about 24 hours at worst, improved backup efficiency, and gained a tested, documented process that supports compliance and helps the team recover confidently from outages, cyberattacks, or human error.
