IHC has 24,000 employees across more than 100 hospitals, clinics and physician offices. While its larger facilities have dedicated IT resources, many of its rural facilities get infrequent visits from IT staff, making it difficult to provide consistent data backup. As a non-profit organization, IHC lacked the budget to invest in expensive new servers and storage media. Along with reliable backup, IHC also wanted to improve file access and printing capabilities for each location to improve overall employee productivity. With its maintenance contract for NetWare 6, IHC received free licenses for Novell Nterprise Branch Office, Novell’s new software appliance that intelligently consolidates branch office infrastructure. Nterprise Branch Office simplifies remote office management, improves employee productivity, and eliminates the need for local backup.
