Avoiding Data Loss in Healthcare with SequelNet’s Zerto DR Solutions

In the healthcare industry, data is the lifeblood of operations. Patient records, treatment plans, and billing information must be accessible, secure, and protected at all times. However, one healthcare provider found themselves grappling with the constant threat of data loss due to outdated disaster recovery (DR) solutions. Frequent system outages, inefficient backups, and slow recovery times were putting patient care and compliance at risk. That’s when they turned to SequelNet and its cutting-edge Zerto DR solutions. This is the story of how SequelNet helped the healthcare provider avoid data loss and ensure business continuity.

The Challenge: Data Vulnerabilities in Healthcare

The healthcare provider faced several critical challenges that jeopardized their ability to protect sensitive data:

• Frequent System Outages: IT downtime disrupted access to patient records and critical applications, delaying treatments and frustrating staff.
• Inefficient Backups: Legacy backup systems were slow, unreliable, and often failed to capture the most recent data, leaving gaps in recovery.
• Slow Recovery Times: In the event of a failure, restoring systems took hours—or even days—impacting patient care and operational efficiency.
• Compliance Risks: With strict regulations like HIPAA governing data protection, the provider struggled to meet compliance standards due to their outdated DR solutions.

These issues not only threatened patient care but also exposed the organization to financial and reputational risks.
