Healthcare

Unitrends is the preferred choice for medical and healthcare organizations that seek to rapidly and securely back up and store not just their electronic patient data files, but all of the computer systems they use to care for patients and make life-saving decisions every day.

Today, healthcare providers are faced with all these challenges:

Emerging regulations
How can we effectively achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance?  What do auditors and Board members expect in terms of our customer data protection initiatives? How do HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) change the way we do business? What will future regulations require?

Keeping customer information completely secure
Based on recent events, dare we trust tape backup? What would happen if our patient records were stolen?  What kind of encryption strategies should we implement?  How can we cost-effectively protect data stored on multiple types of systems?  Are our plans for business continuity and disaster recovery fail-safe?

Long-term archiving of patient and medical data
Is there a cost-effective, proven storage appliance that automates long-term archiving of key data?  What solution will keep our data highly available yet completely private and secure?  Is off-site storage secure?

Fortunately, there’s help.  Unitrends’ Data Protection Units™, removable disks for near-line archiving, BareMetal™ restoration of entire failed servers, and electronic, media-less, offsite Data Protection Vaults™ provide full protection for all your data and systems.  All were specifically designed to simplify data protection processes and reduce costs associated with healthcare data backup, recovery and storage.

Simple. Fast. Safe.

Unitrends was founded on the understanding that the medical data you need to protect is about patients' lives—these days, no healthcare organization can afford to be without a first-class solution for business continuity and disaster recovery.  Unitrends’ founder Dr. Steven Schwartz began developing solutions to handle the data backup problems he encountered while working in his own medical practice almost 20 years ago.

Unitrends solutions deliver:

Fast, reliable back up and restoration of files and folders. All Unitrends appliances use disk-to-disk technology to provide greater speed and reliability than tape-based systems.

Rapid system restoration. Unitrends pioneered BareMetal restoration of entire failed servers, putting mission-critical systems back in business in as little as one hour instead of several days. With our BareMetal capability, we can also recover a failed system to new hardware that may not match the original system configuration, which is often necessary in a true disaster.

Offsite disaster recovery protection. All Unitrends appliances feature removable drives for near-line offsite archiving and are "Electronic Vault-Ready" to provide superior redundant protection.

Protective encryption. Unitrends InCrypt™ technology provides protective software encryption. Standards-based AES 256-bit encryption is performed automatically, offering IT administrators a solution for regulatory and agency requirements, and protecting data from unauthorized access and theft.
