Healthcare IT departments are challenged
every day to deliver life-saving system performance while keeping costs within
budget. That's why a growing number of healthcare institutions are turning
to DataCore
Software, a leading provider of Hyper-converged Virtual SAN, Software-Defined
Storage and Adaptive
Parallel I/O Software. DataCore enables these organizations to
address mission-critical IT challenges while maximizing the performance,
availability and utilization of IT resources - enhancing patient outcomes while
keeping costs low.
"In healthcare, ultra-fast application
response times are critical," said George Teixeira, president and CEO of
DataCore Software. "Slow response from systems such as X-Rays, MRIs, or
CAT scans, or the inability to immediately access critical patient information
can have life-altering consequences, and as a result, delays are simply
unacceptable."
Furthermore, with the ongoing and massive
data growth from medical images, including multi-dimensional, 3D and even
motion-based image formats, as well as the continuing move to electronic health
records, storage requirements and the cost to manage them are also on the rise.
DataCore software delivers record-breaking
performance via its Parallel I/O technology, which pairs well with Lenovo's
powerful servers featuring x86-64 processors. The combination offers the
industry's fastest I/O response time and the best price-performance with
self-tuning features that automatically move data between spinning disks and
flash based on workload priorities. An example of a healthcare customer that
relies on DataCore and Lenovo is the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the
University of Puerto Rico (CCCUPR) -- one of the most advanced hospitals and
cancer research facilities in North America.
The Comprehensive Cancer Center
at the University of Puerto Rico (CCCUPR)
CCCUPR needed a powerful, easy to operate and
flexible solution to manage its critical medical records and the growing
oncology imaging requirements from its Picture Archive & Communications
System (PACS). Since the hospital and the research center are separated by
about two miles, patient information also needed to be shared and protected
from unplanned events at all times.
According to Luis M. Wilkes, director of
Information Systems for CCCUPR, "The combination of DataCore and Lenovo
has maximized IT infrastructure performance, availability and utilization by
delivering a high availability, software-defined storage solution to support
our operations. The DataCore-Lenovo solution ensures that critical health
information systems, such as our PACS, are available online and on demand.
Going forward, we have the flexibility to meet changing demands with DataCore
software running on Lenovo and virtualizing, protecting and accelerating our
systems and applications."
CCCUPR now has six Lenovo Series x3650
servers running DataCore software at the primary site. For disaster recovery,
the solution includes advanced DataCore replication to two additional Lenovo
Series x3650 servers at the secondary location.
A common thread among the many new healthcare
organizations that have deployed DataCore is that all have done so to achieve
significant gains in performance, scalability and reliability. DataCore enables
users to:
- Speed Up Applications - Faster applications (databases, critical
applications, virtualized applications, etc.) means more transactions are
processed in less time, and more data is analyzed faster, leading to
increased productivity.
- Scale within Budget - DataCore ensures the lowest TCO to scale-up or
scale-out. This enables users to run more workloads, with better
performance and availability, on far fewer servers and utilize the
infrastructure already in place for remarkable cost savings, both direct
and indirect (less power, cooling and space). Hardware-independent
software ensures services live beyond current generation of infrastructure
technology and change.
- Protect Data and Applications
- DataCore provides the highest
availability with the fewest nodes. Highly-available infrastructure
reduces disruptions to business operations and decreases risk.
The result is greater consolidation savings,
better performance and higher availability for critical healthcare
applications, databases, and other virtualized applications.
