ups with EMC NetWorker, we gain a single point of control that makes the entire process more reliable and cost-efficient. In fact, it's so efficient we're able to take on increasing backup volume without adding staff. And by archiving, we've further reduced the backup load even as the volume of information continues to grow."

Archiving to Centera also enables Norton to adhere to hospital policies and Protected Health Information (PHI) regulatory requirements including Joint Commission, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and State of Kentucky regulations, which require that patient medical records and images be retained for a minimum of seven years or beyond.

To further protect the privacy and integrity of patient information, security oversight including administrative, physical and technical safeguards are also a major focus of Norton's information infrastructure and a critical capability for demonstrating compliance in an audit. Norton deployed EMC's RSA enVision Platform for gathering and analyzing log data from network devices and computing systems to understand its security, compliance and operational status in real time or over any period of time. In addition, Norton will be integrating enVision with its EMC information infrastructure for storage log management.

"When it comes to protecting life-critical health information, there is no room for compromise, which means security has to be baked into every facet of our information infrastructure," said O'Mahoney. "By integrating enVision to with our EMC storage, we'll be able to reduce the complexity of log management and compliance-related storage auditing, while further enhancing the reliability and availability of our healthcare services."
