Chesapeake Regional Healthcare Relies on ePlus for Managed Data Protection
“Through collaborative design, deployment, and rigorous testing with ePlus, we now have complete certainty in our ability to protect and recover our data.” - Maurice Bastarache, Chief Information Officer, Chesapeake Regional Healthcare
Business Challenges
Chesapeake Regional Healthcare sought to strengthen its ability to respond to a ransomware event or other data disruption and increase its disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities.
The organization’s existing backup solution presented several challenges, including complexity to maintain, lack of support by the vendor, diminished confidence in the solution’s ability to withstand corruption due to ransomware, lack of analytics to identify a valid restore point, and limited ability to store backup data on-premises for more than three days.
The customer wanted to drive down operational costs by eliminating the existing colocation data center and minimizing capital investments.
