CASE OF SUCCESS
CASE - ACSC
The modernization of ACSC's data protection system has ensured greater reliability and expansion of the corporate environment.
The volume of data generated by companies has grown enormously. Concerned about this, ACSC planned to redesign the capacity of the organization's internal environment, so that the expansion of services and assistance would not be constrained by a limited infrastructure. With ISH Tecnologia's Secure Cloud services, ACSC not only increased its storage capacity, but also gained more visibility to protect all the data and information linked to the business.
ACSC
THE CHALLENGE
The Congregation Association of Santa Catarina (ACSC) manages 19 entities, including highly complex hospitals. With a history spanning 120 years, the association has grown strengthened by its DNA for innovation and information security.
To take the next step in its digital evolution, ACSC began investing in data management. There were at least two challenges ahead. The first was growing demand. Today, the association has almost 11,000 employees spread across various health institutions and educational establishments, serving a public made up of children, adults and the elderly. In 2020, there were 102,000 admissions, with a total of 414,000 patients per day. And the datacenter at the entity's CSC couldn't support 12 months of data.
In addition, the number of remote locations without a compatible technological structure and storage environment. It was necessary to invest in this modernization, including in the project compliance with ANS regulations that determine the mandatory retention of information for 15 years for companies in the health sector.

TRANSFORMATION
In order to manage and deliver more services to clients, ACSC needed to increase efficiency. And to sustain growth, it needed to develop capabilities and convert cutting-edge technology into better services for clients.
ISH Tecnologia studied the scenario and proposed a range of solutions that would take the association to a new technological level. Among them, the Secure Cloud, with powerful business benefits.
Migrating to ISH's secure cloud meant that ACSC gained in performance, availability, scalability and, of course, security. ISH's cloud technology is simple, which has allowed ACSC to access data and systems in a secure and controlled manner. This means that in a routine need, such as recovering a file, or in a more complex case, such as activating a disaster recovery, the information would be recovered according to the time the environment was unavailable (RTO) and the time interval from the last backup until the services were interrupted (RPO).

The environment can be accessed from anywhere, and the dashboard makes monitoring easier. You can monitor the environment using graphs and indicators, with information on the processing of each machine, storage capacity and more.
This has also given ACSC's IT team more time to work on the strategic side of the organization. The team was relieved of the environment management part, which is now done by ISH, with proactive management and incident prevention.
The migration of the storage environment to the cloud also generated savings. The association had studied the possibility of upgrading the central datacenter and implementing a structure in the remote locations, which did not have a compatible technological structure or adequate storage capacity. But the cost would have been too high. With the partnership signed with ISH, the modernization was done on a service model, which represented significant savings for ACSC.

RESULT
The backup environment was extended to all 26 remote locations that had external HD and USB systems. A low-cost deduplication, compression and long-term retention system was implemented, as well as the 3-2-1 Backup Rule. The Rule applies perfectly to the scenario and has helped to create a reliable and secure backup environment.
It represents a lower risk in the event of a disaster, meaning that, in addition to the primary data, the Santa Catarina network has two copies stored on different media, and one copy outside the company environment.
