Kindred Healthcare Selects Cisco for New Data Center Storage Network
Overview Kindred's data center is located at its Kentucky headquarters, with remote servers on a Wide Area Network (WAN) deployed throughout the country. Kindred Healthcare wanted to redesign the SAN environment for next generation requirements and maximize performance to meet ongoing data center needs. The challenge was to improve disaster recovery planning to protect patient and corporate information and meet HIPAA guidelines. As a solution they deployed four MDS 9509 Multilayer Director switches on two SANs. As a result it reduced SAN complexity for easier management and administration. It increased redundancy to keep patient information always available, increased flexibility to cost effectively manage capacity growth needs and enabled new data center disaster recovery plan.
