Case Study: Carroll Hospital Center achieves automatic EMR failover and continuous availability with SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition

SIOS DataKeeper® Cluster Edition and Deployment Services Protect Carroll Hospital Center’s Electronic Medical Records System

Carroll Hospital Center, a private nonprofit medical center with more than 400 physicians, needed a reliable disaster recovery solution for its McKesson Horizon Patient Folder electronic medical records system. Facing the risk of lengthy manual failover and up to seven hours of downtime in a major outage, the hospital turned to SIOS Technology and its SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition to improve availability and protect critical patient data.

SIOS Technology implemented a SANless clustering solution with DataKeeper Cluster Edition and Deployment Services, creating a replicated environment across two servers and two data centers. The deployment took less than six hours, and Carroll Hospital Center reduced failover time from hours to less than a minute, gaining continuous real-time replication, easier failover testing, and stronger business continuity for its EMR system.
