EnvisionRxOptions Overcomes Archiving Challenges With Whitewater Cloud Storage Gateway Appliance
2013年1月14日 - 11:00PM
Marketwired
Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the performance company, today
announced that EnvisionRxOptions, a leading provider of transparent
pharmacy benefits management (PBM) services, has deployed the
Riverbed® Whitewater® cloud storage gateway appliance to support
its four locations across the United States. Moving to cloud backup
with Whitewater saves EnvisionRxOptions up to 75 percent in storage
fees and improves the company's archiving operations to assist with
data storage growth and Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance.
Before working with Riverbed, EnvisionRxOptions was experiencing
three different data protection and archiving pain points:
- Archiving up to 8,000 customer and client calls per day was
consuming expensive tier-one storage in multiple sites due to
replication and backup policies that were creating up to four times
the amount of the original data
- Archiving large financial spreadsheets created to analyze past
claims as part of new business acquisition
- Protecting the emails stored in its Symantec Enterprise Vault
archiving system with Backup Exec
Overall, the company needed to manage 15 terabytes of data,
which was growing between 30 to 50 percent annually and was too
expensive to replicate multiple times to its other storage sites.
Furthermore, the company required its patient health records to be
maintained for 10 years, and the company's previous archival
approach did not scale and was cumbersome and costly. As a result,
EnvisionRxOptions turned to Champion Solutions Group to suggest
better solutions to address these challenges. Champion Solutions
Group recommended cloud backup as a way for EnvisionRxOptions to
cut storage costs while simplifying backup processes and suggested
a Riverbed Whitewater cloud storage gateway appliance and Nirvanix
as the cloud provider.
"It's incredible how quickly we got the Whitewater cloud storage
gateway appliance up and running," said Nakul Kapadia, director of
IT, at EnvisionRxOptions. "We picked Nirvanix from a drop down
menu, entered in our credentials, and were up and running and
replicating data to the cloud in about 30 minutes. We have seen
great results and the end-to-end data security in flight and at
rest with SSL v3 and 256-bit AES encryption gives us confidence in
storing our data in the cloud and also helps satisfy our audit
requirements."
The Whitewater appliance compresses WAV files created from the
customer phone calls, which results in a 50 percent savings in data
set sizes, reduction in cloud storage costs, and faster
transmission times. EnvisionRxOptions is seeing a deduplication
ratio of up to four-to-one for the financial analyst claims
spreadsheets, which represents a 75 percent savings in cloud
storage fees. Kapadia added that, "This is very significant because
our data growth was far outpacing our ability to scale our storage
in our primary and secondary sites and also our ability to scale
our backup solutions."
"Whitewater was the perfect fit for us. It's been an efficient
and successful experience, and we couldn't be happier with the
results. We now have a very effective archiving solution that is
secure and meets our compliance requirements. Just as important, we
found a solution to our ever-growing data sets that wasn't feasible
with on-site storage and would have been very expensive due to
replication requirements to protect this data," said Kapadia.
EnvisionRxOptions was founded in 2001 with headquarters in
Twinsburg, OH with additional locations in North Canton, OH,
Sacramento, CA and Fort Lauderdale, FL. EnvisionRxOptions was
started to provide transparency and disclosure to the PBM
marketplace, providing PBM services, including network-pharmacy
claims processing, home delivery (mail-order), benefit-design
consultation, drug-utilization review, formulary management,
disease management and drug data analysis services.
