Several Healthcare Organizations Turn to CommVault

CommVault
Systems, Inc. announced that forward-looking healthcare institutions,
including Cambridge Health Alliance, Huntington Memorial Hospital,
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic and Tampa General Hospital are standardizing on Simpana
software to enhance the quality of patient care by improving access to
information while lowering data management costs and mitigating business and
compliance risks.

The healthcare industry is not immune to the challenge of managing
a increasing amount of data. Several healthcare IT initiatives, such as
electronic medical records, health information exchanges and the implementation
of solutions in support of meaningful use, that are now underway will generate
volumes of critical healthcare data. This not only exacerbates healthcare data
management challenges but also places organizations at great financial and
compliance risks.

On Feb. 1, CommVault unveiled next-generation Singular Information
Management innovations to its Simpana software. These advancements further
empower healthcare IT organizations to simplify the management, protection and
visibility into vital patient information across clinical, operational, virtual
and imaging environments as well as edge devices.

CommVault is seeing increased adoption of Simpana software in the
healthcare market and counts major healthcare institutions, integrated delivery
networks, regional health centers and outpatient facilities as its customers.

Healthcare organizations can purchase Simpana software directly from
CommVault or through its network of healthcare ISV, reseller, strategic
technology partners and group purchasing organizations.

Cambridge Health Alliance

Cures Data Management Challenges
Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) is an integrated health system
serving Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston’s metro-north communities. With more
than 30 clinical locations, including 15 primary care practices and 20
specialty centers, both in the community and at its three hospital campuses,
these sites offer a range of care such as innovative planned care programs
for chronic disease, nationally-renowned behavioral health services, and more
than 100,000 annual emergency visits. CHA also has an
electronic medical record system that coordinates care wherever patients touch
its network. As a result, CHA was recognized by SDI in 2010 and 2011 as one of
the Top 100 Most Integrated Healthcare Networks in the nation.

CHA has been a CommVault customer for the last 10 years initially
using Simpana software for data management in both its Meditech and Exchange
environments. The need to consolidate four legacy backup solutions that
required administration and maintenance prompted CHA to embrace
Simpana software as its enterprise-wide data and information management
solution. Today, Simpana software helps CHA centrally manage over 100 business
and clinical applications including Meditech, Epic and McKesson.

"The overarching value of
adopting Simpana software across our enterprise can be measured in the
efficiencies gained, the costs saved and the high-degree of assurance that
every aspect of our data is protected and readily accessible which further
enhances patient care delivery," said Dan Doherty, director of IT
systems operations at Cambridge Health Alliance. "Simpana software has delivered significant benefits by reducing our
storage costs particularly in being able to backup archived PACS images in our
McKesson system to a cheaper SAN. In addition, Simpana software’s deduplication
capability allowed us to eliminate redundant data and shorten our backup
window."

Huntington Memorial
Hospital
Improved Patient Data Protection Health
Huntington Memorial Hospital is a 626-bed not-for-profit hospital
that is home to the only trauma center in San Gabriel Valley, Calif. Renowned
for its programs in neurosciences, cardiovascular services and cancer care,
Huntington Hospital is an active teaching hospital with Graduate Medical
Education programs in internal medicine and general surgery. In 2011, the
hospital was granted Magnet status and named a Best Hospital (regional) by U.S.
News and World Report in ten specialties.

Huntington Memorial Hospital relies on Simpana software to manage,
protect and access data across its physical and virtual environments running a
mix of 150 operational applications and 100 clinical applications which include
Meditech, GE Centricity, McKesson PACS and Meditech LSS.

Simpana software
consistently works, giving us the confidence that our critical patient
information is protected to help us meet various retention requirements and
ensure compliance with healthcare regulations," said Henry Jenkins,
director of information services at Huntington Memorial Hospital. "In addition, our partnership with CommVault
will allow us to effectively address our future data and information management
needs related to cloud computing and eDiscovery."

Kelsey-Seybold Clinic
Finds CommVault
Best Prescription for Managing Data Silos:
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic is Houston’s first and longest standing
Accountable Care Organization. Kelsey-Seybold is home to more than 370
physicians providing more than 50 medical specialties throughout a network of
20 Houston-area clinics.

The IT team at Kelsey-Seybold supports a combination of physical and
virtual servers (AIX, Windows, and VMware) in a data center
environment to support the Epic Systems EMR as well as numerous clinical,
business, and messaging applications. After experiencing unreliable backup and
recovery using multiple legacy solutions, Kelsey-Seybold switched to Simpana
software.

"Simpana software beats other
competitive products when it comes to user-friendly operation. CommVault’s
single pane of glass management provides a simple yet powerful way to manage
and protect siloed data in our heterogeneous IT environment which helps improve
the level of patient care," said Chris Breaux, manager of information
technology systems at Kelsey-Seybold. "The
integrated archive capability in Simpana software also helps us curb the growth
of our Exchange environment. This not only allows us to reduce storage costs
but also streamlines email search and retrieval during an eDiscovery request."

Tampa General Hospital
Alleviates
Data Management Pain
of Using Multiple Point Solutions:
Tampa General Hospital (TGH) is a private not-for-profit hospital
and one of the most comprehensive medical facilities in West Central Florida
serving a dozen counties with a population in excess of 4 million. As one of
the largest hospitals in Florida, TGH is licensed for 1,018 beds, and with
approximately 6,900 employees, is one of the region’s largest employers. TGH is
the area’s only level 1 trauma center and one of just four burn centers in Florida.

The IT environment at TGH is comprised of 841 servers (51 percent
are virtualized) running Windows, Linux and IBM AIX along with several hundred
applications including SharePoint, Epic, Merge for cardiology PACS and McKesson
for radiology PACS. TGH was using multiple point solutions to address its
various data management needs – CommVault to backup its physical servers, Quest
to manage its virtual servers and EMC Data Domain for deduplication. In
switching to Simpana software, TGH can now centralize data management across
its growing physical, virtual and clinical environments.

"Data Domain’s
target-based deduplication was causing our virtual backups to fail and EMC and
IBM keep telling us to buy more storage. We needed source-side deduplication to
rein in our backup windows," said Mark Wanat, network services manager
at Tampa General Hospital. "CommVault’s
single platform approach to data management was the deciding factor in
standardizing on Simpana software. Now, we can holistically protect and manage
data from a single pane of glass reducing administrative overhead. In addition,
Simpana software provides flexibility and a seamless growth path to address our
future data management needs including archiving, retention management and
snapshot integration."

Jay Savaiano, director of business development for healthcare,
CommVault, said: "Healthcare
organizations and their IT departments need to reduce the complexity in
managing the significant amount of patient and clinical information across
hundreds of systems. With Simpana software, CommVault enables our healthcare
customers to simplify the way they manage their data and information so they
can focus on patient safety initiatives and in driving the attainment of
meaningful use within their clinical environments."
