Overview:
MultiCare Health System, a leading-edge, integrated health organization, deployed the SEPATON S2100-ES2 virtual tape library (VTL) with DeltaStor software for data deduplication and increased its backup performance dramatically, retained more data online for faster data recovery, and created a platform that scales easily to support an estimated twenty percent compounded annual data growth rate.

Eric Zuspan, senior system administrator of SAN/UNIX, MultiCare Health System, was very impressed with the results. "Previously, we could only maintain one week of full backups online, but with DeltaStor deduplicati on, we can retain full backups online for six weeks. The SEPATON system also cut our backup times nearly in half - from twelve hours to less than seven. Restore times are also significantly faster. The VTL administrati on is hands-off . We never have to touch the SEPATON appliance. The SEPATON VTL appears to our backup software as a physical tape system. Our administrators are now free to perform more important tasks. This is a dream come true for us."
