DataCore Software Case Study: Alameda County Medical Center

Overview

The IT environment at ACMC was fundamentally based upon products from Dell and EMC as well as virtual machines from VMware. ACMC has struggled to maintain a disaster recovery or business continuity plan, and has had to use what was available to them - an existing data center that is thirteen miles away. ACMC had been a longstanding Citrix customer, so for cost savings it was a natural choice to go with XenServers. Alameda County Medical Center selected SANmelody storage virtualization and Citrix XenServer to provide replication and to ensure full disaster recovery. DataCore Software's SANmelody software is serving as the foundation of a replication and Disaster Recovery (DR) plan at Alameda County Medical Center (ACMC).
