Case Study: Floyd Medical Center achieves full disaster recovery and HIPAA compliance with Unitrends

Ensuring Full Disaster Recovery Capabilities While Maintaining HIPAA Compliance

Floyd Medical Center, a 304‑bed not‑for‑profit hospital and Level II trauma center in Rome, Georgia, needed to move to a new data center but was constrained by a legacy backup system that couldn’t protect all workloads, scale with growth, or meet HIPAA requirements for encrypted, indefinitely retained patient data. The environment included physical AIX/Linux/Windows servers, over 400 VMware VMs, roughly 120 TB of data, Oracle/Exchange and 185 SQL databases, so the IT team sought a modern, compliant disaster recovery solution.

Floyd selected Unitrends Recovery 946S in their primary site and a 944S at their DR site (deployed with SHI), gaining single‑pane management for rapid VM, server and file recovery plus patented Recovery Assurance for automated DR testing and failover. The solution delivered full disaster recovery protection, HIPAA‑compliant archival options and the ability to leverage Unitrends Cloud or Amazon AWS for long‑term retention — providing regulatory compliance and peace of mind.
