A grocery and pharmacy chain built three-node clusters with encryption to keep patient data safe and pharmacies running.
The situation
Giant Eagle runs pharmacies inside more than 200 stores. Patient data had to stay available and protected at every one.
What they did
It deployed StorMagic SvSAN on three-node, all-flash clusters with SvKMS for encryption and central key management.
The result
Pharmacy applications keep running even if two of the three servers in a store fail.
Why it matters
Healthcare data at the edge needs both uptime and encryption. Canadian privacy law asks the same of pharmacies and clinics here.
