Case Study: Rappahannock General Hospital achieves reliable, all‑in‑one backup and disaster recovery with Unitrends

Replacing Tape Solutions that Require Extensive Critical Care

Rappahannock General Hospital (RGH) in Kilmarnock, VA, a full-service community hospital, was struggling with a fragmented backup environment using DLT/DAT tapes with Veritas Backup Exec and Arcserve. Backups and recoveries were unreliable, the software was confusing, tape was costly and slow, and IT needed a single, scalable, cost‑effective, easy‑to‑use solution to protect growing volumes of critical data.

RGH replaced its legacy tools with a Unitrends Recovery 823 appliance, gaining an integrated all‑in‑one backup and recovery platform that shortened backup windows for bare‑metal, incremental and routine backups and protected virtualized Windows, physical Windows and AIX servers. The switch delivered ransomware and accidental‑delete protection, full disaster recovery capabilities, and responsive support—giving IT greater confidence and simpler management of the hospital’s data protection.
