Case Study: Alabama Cancer Care achieves HIPAA-compliant, cost-effective data backup with Synology

Alabama Cancer Care cuts backup storage 78% with Synology

Alabama Cancer Care, an oncology and hematology practice, needed a HIPAA-compliant backup solution for their core infrastructure, which included physical servers, virtual machines, and over 250 Microsoft 365 accounts. Their challenge was to securely protect this scattered data from accidental loss, service disruption, or cyberattacks while meeting strict healthcare regulations.

Synology implemented a centralized backup solution using a Synology NAS and its Active Backup software suite. This allowed the customer to back up their servers, virtual machines, and Microsoft 365 data efficiently. The results included significant time and cost savings, a 78% reduction in required storage space due to deduplication, and the ability to quickly restore lost data, all while ensuring full HIPAA compliance through features like encryption and a signed Business Associate Agreement.
