NHS Trust Cuts Data Backup Costs

Implementing a resilient data protection solution enables Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust to eliminate backup concerns and improve data protection without overburdening its IT resources.

The Challenge:

Having reached its capacity limit, the existing tape-based back-up infrastructure used by BHRUH was both unwieldly and complex to manage. Supporting a data footprint of 140 TB, split between physical and virtual servers, IT teams at the trust were stretched to the limit.

The Solution:

BHRUH turned to PSTG to design and enable a solution that could keep pace with anticipated data growth volumes and support its aspiration for fast and hassle free backups.

The Results:

The simple to manage, automated, yet 100% reliable, backup infrastructure is impressively extensible. Just eight months on from initial installation, BHRUH is already utilising the solution to protect almost 300 TB of data. Thanks for powerful de-duplication technologies, this data sits on just 80.3 TB of disk storage - representing a massive 72% saving for the Trust.
