CUSTOMER STORY · HEALTHCARE · BACKUP AND RECOVERY
A healthcare provider’s growing imaging collection was putting pressure on local storage. BeCloud added an AWS backup workflow that preserves the existing imaging process while creating an off-site copy and visibility into daily backup activity.
The challenge: protect growing image volumes
High-resolution patient images accumulated on local infrastructure. Capacity growth, hardware procurement, and dependence on a single site created concerns for planning and recovery.
The organization wanted an off-site backup approach that would not require clinical staff to change how they generated and used images.
Add cloud backup around the existing workflow
The implementation uses AWS Storage Gateway to connect the on-premises environment with S3 storage. Imaging data continues to be generated and processed in the existing environment, while scheduled copies are transmitted to AWS.
This adds a cloud backup destination. It should not be confused with a claim that the production imaging system has unlimited local capacity or that every application is recoverable from file backups alone.
Make missing backups visible
BeCloud implemented monitoring of daily backup activity. A failed or missing cycle generates email notifications for support staff and designated healthcare personnel.
These checks help teams detect problems that might otherwise remain unnoticed. A successful transfer check is different from a successful restoration test; both have a role in recovery readiness.
Maintain a tested recovery process
The cloud copy reduces dependence on a single physical location and provides storage flexibility as image volumes grow. No recovery-time or recovery-point guarantee is established by this article.
BeCloud’s continuing support includes monitoring, alert validation, backup verification, access and policy reviews, cost oversight, and operational assistance. The organization should keep recovery ownership, retention, and restoration procedures documented and tested.
