NetApp Streamlines, Simplifies, and Speeds Access to Critical Data for Healthcare Customers Worldwide
January 30 2018 - 8:00AM
NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP), driving digital transformation of the
healthcare industry, today announced it now serves 63% of the top
140 hospitals in the United States. Dave Nesvisky, NetApp’s
healthcare executive director, predicts that in 2018, machine
learning, artificial intelligence, mobility, cloud access,
wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT) will continue to disrupt
and drive digital transformation of the healthcare industry.
“The question is no longer if you’ll need your data, it’s how
you are storing, securing and accessing your data to improve
outcomes, make clinical discoveries, and save lives,” said
Nesvisky. “Healthcare organizations that modernize their
infrastructure will quickly leapfrog competitors, provide superior
care, and improve outcomes as a direct result of increased
performance, flexibility, scalability, automation, and integration
into a single Data Fabric.”
As one of the few data management companies with a dedicated
healthcare solutions team, NetApp® is uniquely positioned to assist
healthcare organizations in unleashing the full potential of their
data to drive down costs and improve patient care. With NetApp®
technology, healthcare organizations can streamline access to
critical data; drastically reduce electronic health record (EHR)
latency; and leverage data across departments, facilities, and
institutions to provide insights and ultimately enhance care.
NetApp solutions provide secure access to critical information, so
customers can quickly accelerate workloads and analytics and can
integrate cloud data services with industry-leading simplicity and
efficiency.
To further underscore its commitment to the healthcare market,
NetApp made a series of important announcements in 2017 designed to
improve application performance, simplify medical image management,
offer a higher-performance infrastructure for machine learning, and
back up to cloud with a single, unified operating system for all
hospital applications, both enterprise and clinical. These
announcements included:
- NetApp ONTAP® 9.3 enhancements of 40% higher performance and
30% greater data efficiency, along with expanded security
features—without forklift migrations.
- Future support for Microsoft Azure-integrated NFS as a service
(NFSaaS) will extend data services into the cloud. “Now even the
most demanding healthcare applications have a choice in hybrid
cloud deployments while maintaining the data management power of
the NetApp infrastructure,” said NetApp Principal Flash Architect
Andy Grimes. “This represents a significant opportunity for
healthcare providers and payers to get the most out of the data
that they collect, secure, and manage.”
- NetApp HCI can help healthcare organizations streamline access
to critical data and unify data management to deliver simple and
secure access to information, without downtime.
In addition, NetApp was named a Leader in the 2017 Gartner Magic
Quadrant for Solid-State Arrays, based on its ability to execute
its completeness of vision.
Dedicated to helping customers unlock the value of their data,
NetApp Healthcare looks forward to driving the digital
transformation of hospitals, urgent-care facilities, rehabilitation
centers, specialty groups, radiology clinics, psychiatric
hospitals, critical-care organizations, and surgery centers
worldwide in 2018.
