For VCUHS, as for any medical care facility, swift access to records can mean saving lives.

For years, the VCUHS IT environment comprised outdated and disparate storage, backup, and related products. The organization was dependent on tape-based backup and recovery for more than 200 TBs of stored data, including a mission-critical Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.

VCUHS needed to transform the organization’s storage infrastructure by implementing a unified, highly reliable, scalable, and easily managed platform that delivers uninterrupted information flow at minimal overall cost.

The VCUHS team realized that in addition to revolutionizing their storage infrastructure, the XIV system offered the simple and unified solution they sought, through a single-tier platform and exceptionally intuitive management. They deployed one XIV system at their primary data center and another at a backup site.
