US Signal Delivers Advanced Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service for Baystate Health Systems
US Signal, a leading end-to-end IT solutions provider, today announced that it has installed a managed Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) solution for Baystate Health Service (BHS) a not-for-profit, integrated healthcare system serving more than 1 million people each year throughout western
The DRaaS solution spans BHS' local site and US Signal's
In addition, US Signal's DRaaS solution includes monthly IT system health checks to keep on top of recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) SLAs. It also features two documented DR tests each year and a fully managed DR playbook. This delivers an additional layer of trust and protection, giving BHS the peace of mind to focus on its core patient care business instead of worrying about business continuity or disaster recovery.
"We re-evaluated our approach to disaster recovery and data availability based on advice given by our trusted IT consulting partner, VertitechIT. They introduced us to US Signal and got us thinking about DRaaS for the first time," explained
The DRaaS approach enabled BHS to find a high availability and data protection solution in line with its budget. With US Signal, customers are not paying for hardware. They are paying a management fee for storage and DR services, making it extremely affordable. In BHS' case, the company got the speedy recovery and geo-diversity it needed from a second DR site, without having to make additional server purchases."
"With the risks of unplanned IT outages from natural disasters, cyberattacks and human error always on the rise, having effective disaster recovery plans and technology in place is more important than ever--especially in the healthcare space where sensitive data is everywhere and lives are on the line," said US Signal's Director of Cloud Sales Development
