“Integrating the HP D2D2T solution was actually pretty
easy for us. It works right across the network and we
just kept the Veritas program we’ve been using for
years. It was a very simple transition that’s already
saving us a lot of time and money.”

Though small, the twenty-five-bed hospital provides
a full spectrum of medical services. These include
a modern and well-equipped surgery suite, family
birthing center, physical and occupational therapies,
sports medicine, radiology, laboratory, respiratory
therapy and outpatient clinic services. In November
2005, Myrtue Medical Center assumed ownership
of the surrounding Shelby, Elk Horn and Avoca
community medical centers, making them rural
health clinics with a revitalized patient-care focus.
Simultaneously, Myrtue incorporated their business
and medical technology operations into the Harlan
hospital data center.

“The network is pretty basic with about 200 users,
mostly medical and support staff,” says Myrtue’s
Network Administrator Joey Hansen. The network
supports three mission-critical functions: the health
management system (HMS), to track all patient
medical information; radiology, which frequently
sends x-ray images to specialists in Omaha; and the
business office. The increased volumes and types of
medical records, radiology and CAT scan images,
videos and business interchange posed a critical
backup and data-protection challenge. Choices were
limited in scope, dependability and affordability

Real relief for backup ailments
Myrtue had long relied on internal Addonics 400
GB Saturn Ex drives and cartridges for backup,
using Veritas software, but the process took at least
twelve hours, and capacity was limited. “We were
verging on going over the size limits of the USB
devices for some of the video and medical images,
so I sometimes had to cut files out of the backup job,”
says Hansen. Hansen did weekly backups which
he carried offsite to a remote clinic. As frequent
newspaper accounts of compromised data make
clear, manual transport of data increases risk of loss
or theft.

Myrtue had multiple servers needing data protection,
each requiring separate backup routines followed
by transfer to cartridges for off-site security – a
labor-intensive, multi-tiered approach that failed to
answer the hospital’s need for simple, fast, secure
backup. Myrtue sought a better solution “We have
had a need for a real backup solution that gives us a
way to quickly backup data in a short time window
and also provides a means to take data off site for
disaster recovery,” says Myrtue’s IT Director Khristine
Jacobsen.
