Hosted Storage Keeps Mission Critical Data
Safe and Secure
What you would do if your data center was not available due to a flood, earthquake or electrical fire? How quickly could you recover and be back to "business as normal"?
Managing your archive can become your largest IT expense, especially if you've discovered that storage management is not a core competency of your staff. McKesson's Hosted Storage solution, powered by Iron Mountain, offers a fully managed service model that provides disaster recovery with archiving in a single solution.
Hosted Storage helps you:
- Shift costs and management of storage to a vendor
- Achieve 100% utilization
- Secure important data to a managed, dispersed operation with limitless space
- Reduce on-premise hardware footprints/costs for reduced total cost of ownership that provides geographically dispersed data storage for security
The efficiency of McKesson's Hosted Storage
- As data is accumulated over time (blue/red curve) McKesson's "pay as you go" invoicing method matches usage exactly - no wasted money or resources.
- With the industry "status quo" model (blue step line), facilities purchase hardware as a capital expenditure (the investment in the hardware occurs before usage) and then the facility attempts to completely fill the storage; eventually the hardware becomes obsolete and money is wasted.
Jupiter Medical Center Saves Time, Cost and Data with Hosted Storage
Jupiter Medical Center is located in Palm Beach County and lies within Florida's "hurricane alley." On average, Jupiter is hit with a hurricane every 2.8 years and the last hurricane was in 2008. Jupiter knew it needed a safe, remote location to store medical images and information. Jupiter was evaluating its strategy for disaster recovery and was contemplating a second storage site in Miami. However, there were potential risks of having the second site so close (80 miles away) and still within hurricane alley.
McKesson's Medical Imaging Professional Resources™ Hosted Storage solution solved Jupiter Medical Center's problem by:
- Improving both the Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
- Supporting multiple data types
- Proving through a Total Cost of Ownership Disaster Recovery assessment that McKesson and partner Iron Mountain could provide Jupiter with considerable savings over tape-based or competitor solutions
