Commvault and HPE to Deliver Healthcare Data Management and Protection Solutions

Commvault Systems, Inc. announced a partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to deliver its healthcare solutions to HPE customers.

Through this reseller agreement announced, HPE and its network partners will be selling integrated and pre-validated versions of Commvault’s portfolio of healthcare solutions on HPE infrastructure. These solutions include Commvault Clinical Archive and the Commvault Data Platform to protect and manage critical Meditech, Epic and other EHR data, as well as medical images across the healthcare enterprise, with a fast and simple solution. Announcement was made at HIMSS18, held March 5-9, in Las Vegas, NV.

These Commvault healthcare solutions extend the scope of the HPE Complete Commvault Software offering, enabling healthcare customers with data protection that is integrated and optimized for HPE storage and other infrastructure products, including StoreOnce, 3PAR, Nimble Storage, Apollo and Proliant.

The introduction of Commvault Clinical Archive on HPE infrastructure is the first enterprise medical image management solution HPE has brought to the market, and is designed to simplify access to – and management of – imaging data created in disparate PACS solutions.

“Increasing amounts and types of mission-critical data, stricter regulatory requirements and the growing threat from ransomware and other cybersecurity attacks are increasing the costs and complexity of data management and protection for healthcare organizations,” said Patrick Osborne, director of storage and big data product management, HPE. “With this agreement, our healthcare customers now have a one-stop shop for finding HPE integrated and certified Commvault solutions that help them to simplify data management and protection, increase data availability, reduce costs, and minimize regulatory compliance risk, while also empowering them to better activate data for valuable insights.“

“Our partnership with HPE increases the opportunity to get our powerful data management solutions into the hands of healthcare organizations facing enormous challenges related to data management and protection,” said Fred Mills, senior director, Commvault healthcare. “The availability of fully integrated, certified Commvault healthcare solutions from HPE marks a significant step forward in making it easier for the healthcare industry to implement holistic data management strategies that accelerate digital transformation initiatives and improve patient care while reducing IT complexity.“

Commvault healthcare solutions sold through HPE include: 

• Commvault Clinical Archive: Combining clinical archiving with a data management platform, it transforms vendor-neutral archiving (VNA) into a complete ‘enterprise image archiving’ solution and simplifies access to – and management of – data created in disparate PACS solutions. Clinical Archive provides the flexibility to archive medical imaging data on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid storage solution. It ensures all archived data is readily available for use by clinicians; the archive can be configured to deliver relevant historical studies identified with a DICOM modality work-list or HL7 ADT interface. Plus, the open platform supports all common data standards – DICOM and non-DICOM images – as well as PDFs, JPEGs, annotations and more. Because it is based on the Commvault Data Platform, data can be moved to the cloud with ease. Commvault’s clinical archiving capabilities also provide a simple, cost-effective way to manage, migrate and retire legacy PACS applications.
• Epic, Meditech, and other vendor-agnostic EHR Data Protection: Automated snapshot management is at the heart of Commvault’s EHR data protection. The array-based storage hardware snapshots are integrated directly into the data management platform for protection of data for all EHR systems and sub-systems. Entire file systems and databases can be recovered within moments of failure – mitigating the risk of patient information loss.

Commvault’s healthcare solutions are available through HPE’s direct and reseller channels.
