How NetApp Helped a Healthcare Organization Meet Epic Honor Roll Criteria

Across healthcare, organizations are updating backup and storage systems to protect valuable data assets. Indelible backups (or snapshots) are one of the key elements of a backup modernization strategy, as they ensure data cannot be modified or deleted.

Indelible snapshots offer a clear benefit when it comes to responding to a data breach. They provide organizations with a reliable backup that allows for quick recovery, minimal disruption to business operations and protection against ransomware demands. There’s an additional business benefit as well. Support for indelible snapshots helps organizations climb the Epic Honor Roll — and increased proficiency with Epic brings financial incentives.

CDW, in collaboration with NetApp — the developer of SnapLock and Tamperproof Snapshot technologies — offers healthcare organizations a dependable solution to meet Epic Honor Roll requirements for secure, immutable data snapshots.

“Organizations need a way to secure their data and make sure people who need it have access to it — but not everybody else,” says Travis Rubida, specialized engineer with CDW. “That way, data doesn’t get leaked, and it’s always where it needs to be. Access to data must be constant, as patient care involves critical, life-or-death decisions.”
