FirstHealth of the Carolinas is a private, nongovernmental, not-for-profit health care network serving 15 counties in the mid-Carolinas. The challenge was to support 100% annual data growth and 650 applications while controlling fast-rising management costs and improving information services to health-care stakeholders. Address regulations for privacy and security, and implement Disaster Recovery (DR) for all FirstHealth hospitals. FirstHealth consolidated on a NetApp FAS series solution for reliable and efficient data collection, storage, and distribution. NetApp NearStore systems offer high-speed disk-to-disk backup and secure archiving of data.
