Cloudian, Inc. highlighted expands footprint in the healthcare and life sciences market, as organizations around the world turn to the company for help managing their growing digital assets and realizing the value of these assets.

Cure for Storage Ills
The proliferation of healthcare data is enabling advances such as improved diagnoses, new drug discoveries and genetic disease treatments. However, this data typically comes from various sources spread across different systems-from patient medical records in EMR and EHR systems to large amounts of unstructured content such as PET scans, MRIs, CT scans and X-rays in PACS systems-hindering the ability to bring all this data together for analysis and maximize its collective value.

Company’s HyperStore solution provides a limitlessly scalable object storage platform that can consolidate information from these various systems in a cost-effective manner that also complies with HIPPA standards regarding the storage of personal medical information.

HyperStore’s benefits include:

Public cloud-like flexibility on-premises: Users can start small and non-disruptively add storage nodes as they need more capacity, with the added capacity becoming part of the available storage pool.
Data management across the ecosystem: The firm seamlessly integrates with healthcare applications and vendor neutral archive solutions to provide a central storage repository, enaling customers to consolidate storage and management of dispersed records and images for real-time, comprehensive viewing.
Security and compliance: From data encryption at rest and in transit, to role-based access controls, to WORM capability, the product includes security features that meet compliance requirements.
Metadata tagging: In contrast to traditional SAN and NAS storage, the solution includes rich metadata tagging that facilitates the application of machine learning and analytics for pattern detection, drug and disease research and even diagnoses.
Data protection: HyperStore provides up to 14 nines of durability for long-term protection of healthcare and research data.
Up to 70% cost savings: Built on standard high-density servers, the firm reduces storage costs by up to 70% compared to traditional enterprise storage and public cloud offerings.

“Unifying healthcare data within a single repository and making it easily accessible to the right people at the right time is critical to driving more informed decision-making and, ultimately, better patient care,” said Sandra Lillie, global director, enterprise imaging sales and strategy, Hyland Software, Inc. “That’s why we value partners like Cloudian who join forces to break down infrmation silos for our customers, faciltating better collaboration and making the vast stores of medical images, photos and documents available when and where they’re needed.”
