Healthcare Storage Virtualization™

Healthcare IT departments are tasked with managing vast amounts of clinical and administrative data, and the rapid adoption of EHRs and PACS is putting pressure on storage infrastructure at an unprecedented rate. While government requirements and institutional policies compel healthcare organizations to retain this data for many years, the likelihood of access to this data decreases rapidly over time. This calls for a data management strategy that maximizes effective use of storage infrastructure while minimizing cost, all the while empowering IT to say ‘yes’ to the storage needs of the organization at large.

Healthcare Storage Virtualization™ (HSV™) gives IT that power by creating a flexible storage management framework that separates the application from the storage device, allowing multiple applications to tap into the same resources, increasing overall utilization. It creates common pools of shareable storage hardware that can be accessed as needed, regardless of the application or data type.

The 5 Key Features of Healthcare Storage Virtualization

  1. Improved Storage Utilization
    Don’t buy expensive, specialty storage platforms that lock you into a proprietary architecture. Reap the benefits of de-duplication, encryption, compression, and containerization using the disk systems of your choice.
  2. Trouble-free Data Migration
    One thing is certain: your data will outlive the storage it sits on. Migrate data to new storage devices in a manner seamless to applications and end users.
  3. Enhanced Content Access
    Imagine a central repository where data from disparate systems are easily accessible. With meta-data and full-text indexing, our federated search facilities will ensure you find what you’re looking for.
  4. Better Data Protection & Security
    System backup. Data replication. Multi-copy archive. Your data secured on multiple media types in multiple locations, where and when you need it.
  5. Integrated Into Healthcare
    Far more than simple storage provisioning, HSV integrates with your healthcare applications. With support for DICOM, HL7, and XDS, you have the power of an intelligent healthcare storage ecosystem at your command.

Healthcare Storage Virtualization is a scalable solution that supports your healthcare data management challenges over time. This enables you to focus on solving your highest priority problem first (e.g., implementing a vendor-neutral DICOM archive) while establishing a platform that positions you to address other issues (e.g., e-mail archiving) as your time and budget allows. HSV puts you in control. Your data, your storage, your choice.
