EMC and Seven10 Come Through for Allegiance Health

About Allegiance Health
Founded in 1918, this Jackson, MI area health system is community-owned and locally governed.

It is comprised of more than 40 different facilities reaching multiple Michigan counties with 400 physicians and 3,700 staff members.

Time for a storage refresh
Allegiance has long stressed the importance of privacy and security when preserving the long-term management of patient records. Due to long-term reliability concerns when a change-of-control occurred with the NetApp StorageGRID platform, Allegiance turned to EMC Corp. and Seven10 Storage Software, LLC. EMC Atmos scale-out cloud storage combined with Seven10’s migration and enterprise cloud tiering software are suited for a future-proof storage environment designed to grow as Allegiance’s needs evolve.

As a longstanding EMC Select and technology partner, Seven10’s Storfirst Migration and Gateway software serve a dual purpose, as the technology:

• migrates legacy patient data from NetApp StorageGRID to EMC Atmos, while
• providing a standard and secure CIFS access layer into Atmos for go-forward archiving
  

Allegiance leverages multiple medical and non-medical applications, which Seven10’s software supports with ease. The Storfirst technology provides it a non-disruptive migration path from NetApp to EMC without any interruption to their patient care process. Additionally, Seven10 provides a 100% auditable transition to Atmos, guaranteeing against any data loss concerns.

The end of ‘rip and replace’ heartburn
Seven10 changes the paradigm for data migrations. Knowing a traditional IT upgrade typically is time consuming and exhaustive, the decision to team with Seven10 lets Allegiance reap the benefits of an easy and efficient upgrade – and all well within budget. With Seven10 remotely managing the entire migration and go-forward management of Atmos, Allegiance can dedicate their time and effort to providing the high quality patient care.
