"Polyclinic" Scanner "is a large medical center opened in 1991 in Novy Urengoy. It conducts outpatient treatment, diagnostic studies, conducts preventive work. More than 50 thousand patients are served here every year, more than 70 thousand diagnostic and 200 thousand laboratory studies are carried out. At the beginning of December 2021, 130 employees work in the clinic, including 40 highly qualified doctors, more than half of whom have the highest and first qualification categories.

The Scanner Medical Center uses high-tech equipment and specialized medical systems. One of the directions of its development is the introduction of relevant ones. information technology IT Infrastructure the company has 70 workstations, two physical ones, servers which are deployed virtual infrastructure under management, VMware where about 20 work. virtual machines

Most of the information that the clinic stores and processes belongs to the category of personal data. In addition, in the information systems used there is data that preserves medical confidentiality. In addition, information reflecting the financial activities of the organization plays a significant role in ensuring the operation of the medical center.

"We are not only obliged to protect personal data. For us, all the information necessary for the work of the company is quite important. These are both patient data, their outpatient maps, and diagnostic study data, and information needed to manage the organization, " explains Arthur Sheimukhov, senior software engineer at Scanner.

When choosing the software to create the backup system, the customer focused primarily on the fame and demand of the solution.

"The technologies Acronis used in the development of Cyber Project are well known and have proven themselves in other projects. In addition, we had experience working with Acronis Data Protection"" on workstations and were confident that this solution would be relevant in the scope of the organization's infrastructure, "- says Arthur Sheimukhov.

The implementation of Akronis Data Protection at Scanner was carried out on its own. It took several working days and did not cause difficulties for the company's IT specialists. The technical support service of Cyberproject quickly answered all the questions that arose.

"The solution has an intuitive simplicity and friendly interface, it does not require special skills or special skills to deploy. No training was required for the personnel managing the system, "- tells Arthur Sheimukhov.

The main result of the implementation of Akronis Data Protection at Scanner is the confidence in the security and availability of data that the company received through the backup system. In the infrastructure of the medical center, special storage was allocated, backup copies of the data of workstations and virtual servers used by the company are concentrated here. The total amount of data protected by the backup system is 15 TB.

An important feature of the solution in the company is the ability to organize backups from a single console. Scanner specialists have created a backup schedule that takes into account the requirements for the availability of information and the time of use of information infrastructure objects.

"We did not use any standards or numbers to measure backup performance. But we are completely satisfied with both the backup speed shown by Acronis Data Protection and the recovery speed if necessary, " emphasizes Arthur Sheimukhov.

Specialists of the medical center have already had to use Akronis Data Protection in "combat" conditions. Several times, the system restored files to company file server shares after users accidentally deleted them. It was necessary to restore data from a backup and after the hard drive of one of the company's computers failed. In addition, the Scanner uses Acronis Data Protection to upload information from databases over certain dates for subsequent analysis. This functionality of the solution in the company is considered quite relevant.

Acronis Data Protection is a comprehensive solution that guarantees the clinic the safety and continued availability of data needed to treat patients. In addition, with its help, we solve such important tasks as protecting critical infrastructure, ensuring the safety of personal data of doctors and patients, and even working with databases of specialized medical systems and organization management systems, " summarizes Arthur Sheimukhov.
