MemorialCare is a leading nationally recognized, not-for-profit health system with six hospitals in California. MemorialCare’s IT Operations department was responsible for managing and protecting over 150 servers containing patient and business data. Continuous and around the clock data backups were extremely labor intensive and stressing out the IT staff. Backups ran 12 to 18 hours a day and with data vaulting, the total backup window was nearly 24 hours, consuming 200-300 backup tapes per week. Difficulty restoring data from tape was also causing problems.
