Driving Efficiency and cost savings across hospital Information Infrastructures

Healthcare providers today are experiencing ever increasing data growth and demands for improved services and clinical workflow. Clinicians are demanding faster and simplified access to patient related data, regardless of their location or the data source. IT departments are being asked to manage increasing complexity whilst being asked to provide greater performance and improved service levels in the most cost effective way.

There is a definite need therefore for improved automation, simplified information management to address the challenge of doing more with less.

Healthcare Organisations are therefore looking for innovative ways to maximise the efficiency of their existing information infrastructures, whilst at the same time deploying new technology where cost & value can be justified.

Attend this webinar and hear about:

- How to maximise the utilisation of your existing Storage Infrastructure to defer procurement
- Reduce the complexity and cost of maintenance & management
- Improve responsiveness to demands for new clinical services and applications whilst maintaining service levels
- Increased IT agility to limit financial impact of changes and improved planning for future upgrades.

The promise of Cloud and the reality of the deliverable today provide organisations with a new set of choices when establishing an information governance policy for the future. Driving value and intelligence from the data which must be retained, and that which organisations choose to retain, is key to future profitability, economic efficiency, service provision and competitive edge. Big data, analytics, discovery and content repurposing are all clear objectives now and for the future.

For commercial enterprises and government institutions alike as the tidal wave of data increases in size, Cloud Services and Cloud Enabled architectures will be crucial in ensuring organisations are not lost in the flood.”

Attend this webinar and learn how to
- Establish a cost effective foundation upon which to build a forward-thinking solution for data management
- Minimise the backup burden created by massive growth in unstructured data
- Centralise policy management and enforcement across your business
- Create an economically viable and sustainable infrastructure from which to transition your business to meet future requirements

Focusing existing IT resources in areas that add growth to the bottom line has become a top challenge for IT organizations. According to IDC, companies are spending over 90% of their budgets in maintaining and managing the existing environment. Only about 5-10 percent are actually used to drive things like new customer offerings , additional transaction models and business growth. Shortages on skill and resources create additional challenges.

This Web seminar wants to show ways that allow you to shift resources to higher ended growth domains while pooling day-today-maintenance and administration in a new flexible way.

Attend this webinar and learn about:
•Why maintenance and support contracts should become proactive resource centres rather than passive “insurances” for incidents
•The long term ROIs of your IT as a function of how productive the in-house staff can add to the bottom line
•The classic model of maintenance and support contracts has to adapt to these challenges and needs to allow more diverse and flexible resources

As labour and skills are fast becoming the most sought after resource in the data center, we want to show you examples of how some of our customers cope.

This 20 minutes web-seminar is focusing of intelligent ways to deploy remote managed operations services for core activities ranging from:

•Alerting & reporting
•Trend Analyses
•Capacity Administration
•Backup management
•Chargeback management
•Full storage management

Remote Operational Services from Hitachi Data Systems are provided by fully certified team members who help you improve overall efficiencies, meet service level objectives and better storage infrastructure investment.

This will allow you to focus your scarce resources on the important bits of your business.

Listen to Trevor Williams - Global Product Manager, Managed Services - and learn how other companies are using these services to their advantage.

As virtualization becomes more pervasive across the data center, the tight integration between virtualized servers and storage becomes increasingly important.

Manage and protect information across your entire VMware virtualized infrastructure to provide agility and seamless scalability for virtualized environments and reduce operational costs.

Offloading storage intensive processes from the VMware vSphere 4.1 environment to Hitachi storage enables significant improvements in VMware performance. It can dynamically scale from hundreds to thousands of virtual machines on a single amalgamated tiered storage infrastructure to keep your environment streaming. This is supported on the Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage 2000 family and the new Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform.

Join our webinar and learn how to:

•Control costs due to virtual server sprawl by consolidating on the Hitachi Virtualized Storage Platform
•Improve quality of service (QoS) to meet increasingly demanding and growing [virtualized] application requirements
•Assess the performance advantages of virtual storage platforms for large scale deployments (more than 10k) of virtual desktops (Citrix and VMware View) with the Hitachi Virtualized Storage Platform

Hitachi Clinical Repository – The Foundation of Your Clinical Transformation

Discover the key challenges that currently prohibit clinical information sharing; and how these act as a barrier to information integration and access.

Interoperability is a critical piece of any hospital’s Electronic Health Record strategy – one which relies heavily on consolidation of patient information necessary for physicians to make well informed patient care decisions.

Effective Electronic Health Record implementation requires consolidation of different departmental systems in order to adequately access the longitudinal record. There are strong drivers for interoperability of patient data; storage virtualization, consolidation and metadata-based open repositories are key enablers to help achieve this.

Attend this webinar and learn about:

•The benefits of a patient-centric view of information
•Approaches to Infrastructure & and it’s impact for healthcare transforming technologies
•Attaining application and storage architecture independence
•The benefits of unlocking your most vital asset; information
•Applying a “future-proof” approach to deploying 21st century solutions

Backup is critical to protecting data and ensuring its recoverability.

However, backup applications, by design, continuously create new copies of the same data, resulting in an explosion of required storage capacity on tape and disk.

The HDS & FalconStor data deduplication solution integrates seamlessly into your backup environment to address this problem, slashing media costs, streamlining management tasks, and minimizing the bandwidth required for replication. Data deduplication improves efficiency and saves money—exactly what is needed when IT budgets are tight.

•Eliminate redundant data
•Shrink your backup repository by 95%
•Reduce your storage requirements and maximize storage utilization
•Integrate seamlessly with backup software
•Maintain tape backup processes while maximizing data retention on disk
•Enable cost-effective, high performance D2T and D2D backup operations

The deduplication solution includes disk mirroring to protect against local storage failure as well as replication to protect against disasters. The solution also includes a failover capability, which lets you recover data and respond to business requirements even if multiple nodes in a cluster fail. This same clustering approach allows you to scale to meet growing capacity and performance requirements while enhancing the overall deduplication efficiency. Clustering enables separate FalconStor VTL devices to be managed and used logically as a single data repository, supporting even the largest data requirements.

Attend this live webcast and:
•Learn how Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage and FalconStor Virtual Tape Library with Deduplication can improve the backup and recovery of your data
•Improve recovery reliability, speed, availability and capacity
•Reduce the amount of date you need to store using deduplication
