Fighting cancer one person at a time
The University Hospital Basel is one of the leading medical centres in Switzerland, with high, internationally recognised standards. The doctors and nurses there ensure the well-being, safety and recovery of patients around the clock based on the latest scientific findings and the most modern medical equipment. The University Hospital wants to provide doctors and researchers with ready access to historical and current data to aid diagnoses and the development of new medical treatments.
Challenge
Managing a variety of different storage and archival systems based on each type of data and the application generating it, such as computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Finding the required information and then retrieving it from the respective system was difficult and time-consuming, slowing researchers and hampering doctors in diagnosing complex cases.
Solution
Build a universal medical archive, leveraging Scality RING and HPE Apollo 4000 systems to preserve and secure all types of data indefinitely.
“I look for technology that takes away problems and provides flexibility to adapt when our customers within the University Hospital come to us with new demands. HPE and Scality have taken the problem of archiving data away from me; they’ve eliminated that worry. And anything that I don’t have to worry about is a good thing.”
Result
- Simplifies accessing clinical and patient data that are vital to research
- Enables greater medical collaboration across organisations
- Scales easily to support growing volumes of Big Data
