Dublin hospital updates disaster recovery solution
UPMC Beacon Hospital implements Bridgehead Software\'s MEDITECH 5.6 system
UPMC Beacon Hospital in south Dublin has implemented Bridgehead Software’s integrated back-up disaster recovery solution, MEDITECH 5.6, to ensure complete protection of clinical and administrative data.
During the deployment, the hospital also installed Bridgehead’s Replicate Tool, which will help to migrate data as part of the update.
Through the systems, the hospital can take advantage of a dedicated back-up server controlling the back-up schedule. This ensures that a static image of the database is backed up to the tape library.
Jim Beagle, president and CEO of BridgeHead Software, said: “A recent international BridgeHead survey revealed that although 65% of healthcare IT leaders said their data volumes had increased over the previous year, only 26% said they had ‘robust, tried-and-tested’disaster recovery plans in place. But by implementing our back-up solution, Beacon is ensuring its data is always accessible and secure, especially in the event of a system outage or disaster.”
