Sky Lakes Medical Center is a not-for-profit teaching hospital serving more than 80,000 people in south-central Oregon and northern California. When the Information Services (IS) staff looked to replace aging data center infrastructure, it teamed with CDW to choose a joint solution from strategic partners Cisco and Cohesity for modern, efficient data management. Little did Sky Lakes know that its new reliable and simplified backup and disaster recovery (DR) platform would soon be a cornerstone to its IT security, helping Sky Lakes recover from a ransomware attack while achieving cost-efficient picture archiving and communications system (PACS) file service and giving IT staff more time to focus on other important work.
