Case Study: Gila Regional Medical Center achieves rapid ransomware recovery and robust business continuity with Unitrends

Cutting Edge Backup and Continuity for Gila Regional Medical Center

Gila Regional Medical Center (GRMC) is a county-owned, not-for-profit 68-bed acute care hospital in Silver City, New Mexico. Facing limited IT staffing, growing cybersecurity threats and an archaic, non-scalable Backup Exec environment, GRMC needed a modern, integrated data protection and disaster recovery solution that fit its governance and future plans.

GRMC deployed Unitrends Recovery appliances (936S in the datacenter and 823S at a remote site) with RXDA removable drives to enable secure offsite transport. When a ransomware incident occurred, the Unitrends solution allowed the team to contain, eliminate and recover affected systems in minutes rather than days. The platform now delivers ransomware and accidental-delete protection, full disaster recovery capabilities, broad integration across the environment, and has already paid for itself, with cloud-based protection being considered for future projects.
