The Challenge
Halfpenny requires a high-performance cloud infrastructure that carefully protects their customers’ PHI. A key driver is HIPAA, which places stringent requirements around the secure handling of patient data. Halfpenny wanted to strengthen the business continuity plan for their Philadelphia-based operations and to extend their compliance posture to include HITRUST certification.
The Solution
Evolve IP’s cloud infrastructure, built on encrypted Nimble Storage flash arrays, supports HTI’s objectives, offering robust data backup and disaster recovery capabilities and allowing seamless movement of workloads and backups between datacenters. Halfpenny is able to achieve their long-term objectives for securing PHI in a HIPAA-compliant, and HITRUST-audited environment that provides business continuity assurance.
