Case Study: MYA Clinics Ltd

About MYA Clinics Ltd

MYA aims to deliver the world’s most patient-focused cosmetic surgery. They believe that when you love the way you look, you stand a bit taller, you speak a bit louder and the more confident you emerges from within.

MYA are breast enhancement (also known as breast enlargement), liposuction and rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) specialists who also offer the full range of surgical procedures.

The Challenge

On a daily basis, MYA generates a vast amount of data through patient records. Backups of this data must be automatically completed throughout the day. Their incumbent system was struggling to complete the necessary backups, either not completing them in time or failing to complete them all together. Making accessing essential patient data difficult and leaving the team worrying about the potential pitfalls of a complete system failure.

Due to the amount of live data processing carried out it was essential MYA had a solution that could backup regularly throughout the day. In addition to this, there was also the requirement for MYA to have workable versions of their applications to roll back to but also somewhere that should they lose any infrastructure they were hosted on the could access fully and in a timely manner.

Complying to regulatory guidelines is also of paramount importance to MYA, all patient records must be securely stored and retained in order for auditing and compliance. Failure to do this correctly can prove extremely costly for the team.

The Solution

As an existing Wavenet customer, MYA reached out to their Account Manager to gain some advice . After discussing their needs in detail, a recommendation for a comprehensive Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) was made. With all of MYA's servers, databases and applications using Rubrik managed in the cloud to backup.

Cyber attacks are becoming more common, and outside of cyberspace, risks from flood, fire or human error can never be truly eradicated. These threats can damage businesses, leaving them without essential data or crippling systems for extended periods of time. Utilising Rubrik means that should the worst happen, the risk of losing critical data has been minimised. Reducing the potential effects of this on their patients and business.

Rubrik allows MYA to backup their databases regularly throughout the day and provides a user-friendly platform in which to manage their data requirements. Most importantly it allows them to recover data easily and implement disaster recovery procedures in a timeframe that will ensure minimal business disruption.
