CASE STUDY
Sky Lakes Medical Center is a not-for-profit teaching hospital serving more than 80,000 people in south-central Oregon and northern California . When the Information Services ( IS ) staff looked to replace ageing data center infrastructure , it teamed with CDW to choose a joint solution from strategic partners Cisco and Cohesity for modern , efficient data management .
Little did Sky Lakes know that its new reliable and simplified backup and Disaster Recovery ( DR ) platform would soon be a cornerstone to its IT security , helping Sky Lakes recover from a ransomware attack while achieving cost-efficient picture archiving and communications system ( PACS ) file service and giving IT staff more time to focus on other important work .
Challenges
The successful Sky Lakes data center infrastructure refresh to Cisco HyperFlex , a hyperconverged compute , storage and networking system , reduced the costs and operational burdens of three different solutions and vendor contracts for the lean IS team .
So as the renewal of Sky Lakes ageing backup product neared , IS Staff was interested in guidance from both CDW and Cisco as it evaluated new backup and data management approaches that were easier to use and would drive further efficiencies .
The goal was to give engineers greater bandwidth to proactively fulfil all of the requests coming in daily .
