Sky Lakes Medical Center Avoids Paying Ransom, Lowers PACS TCO
Cohesity software on Cisco UCS for data management was far
easier for Sky Lakes to deploy and use than its prior legacy product.
Cisco Intersight reduces IT operations time and allows oversight of
the entire infrastructure, including Cisco HyperFlex and Cohesitycertified Cisco UCS nodes. IS no longer has to manually add servers
to the backup queue because Cohesity automatically detects and
protects each virtual machine (VMs) and workload while enabling Sky
Lakes IT to tag only those it does not want to have backed up. This
eliminated the need for IS staff to scramble to do a restore data.
Sky Lakes sees tremendous value in the Cohesity multicloud data platform because it supports multiple data services. In addition to modern backup, Sky Lakes relies on Cohesity SmartFiles, a softwaredefined solution for file and object services that goes beyond traditional scale-out NAS within the same cluster. Complementary to Cisco HyperFlex, SmartFiles lowers Sky Lakes PACS total cost of ownership (TCO) by using Cisco HyperFlex as a cache tier for radiology images and Cohesity cluster as an archive tier. As a result, Sky Lakes no longer uses more costly primary storage for PACS archives. IS expects to use the same configuration for camera systems.
