Medela is a global medical device company known for industry-leading breastfeeding products and healthcare technology solutions. Guided by its mission to “nurture health for generations,” Medela has invested heavily in digital transformation to improve the client journey, enhance product innovation, and support data-driven healthcare. To meet these goals, Medela’s IT strategy emphasizes high-performance infrastructure, secure data management, and intelligent digital platforms powered by artificial intelligence and advanced analytics.
Medela’s IT infrastructure was a key enabler of its overall technology strategy. The company’s IT infrastructure allowed it to collect, store, and analyze data, develop digital platforms, and use artificial intelligence. This then enabled Medela to improve its products, services, and overall customer experience.
One of the key components of Medela’s overall IT infrastructure strategy was to optimize how it was handling backup and recovery, but they ran into a dilemma—although backup and recovery were important to the overall digital transformation plan, their team needed to prioritize other initiatives.
“Backup is important”, explains Ramon Donis, Medela’s Director of Global Affairs. “But it’s not the most strategic task for our engineers to focus on.”
After realizing this, Medela reached out to Meridian IT to better understand how they could partner together to accomplish their digital transformation goals.
After evaluating its priorities, Medela turned to Meridian IT to explore a partnership aligned with its long-term digital transformation roadmap. Meridian introduced the company to mProtect, a comprehensive cloud backup and recovery solution designed for performance, cost efficiency, and hands-off management.

“This type of deep expertise and having a proactive approach towards enterprise cloud backup is nonexistent with other vendors”, said Donis. “The Meridian IT team stands out because of the way it provides Medela with an optimized backup and recovery solution. For us, it’s about the flexibility that Meridian IT provides—having the availability to expand and contract licenses depending on our business requirements. One of the biggest values of Meridian IT is the flexible consumption model provided for Commvault licensing.”
Teaming up with Meridian IT has empowered Medela by giving their staff more time to focus on their main business objectives—to expand and grow on a global scale. “I feel very confident with Meridian IT as our backup and recovery provider,” affirms Ramon Donis. “Before our partnership, our engineers couldn’t prioritize the projects that would help them focus on the company mission.
