DataCore has a growing worldwide presence in the healthcare sector with over a thousand installations in the healthcare industry alone, including major hospitals and medical centers that span the globe. The worldwide base of healthcare users continues to grow with the addition of new deployments and upgrades at Continuum Health Partners, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Moorfields Eye Hospital, Indiana's Community Health Network, EngenderHealth, Hunterdon Medical Center, East Kent NHS Trust, Oxford Radcliffe NHS Trust, Royal Bolton Hospital, Maimonides Medical Center, Virginia Women's Center, Washington Hospital, Mercy Hospital, Holy Cross Hospital, Salt Lake Valley Health, Sentara Health, Varian Medical and China's Xinjiang People's Hospital, among others.
In Germany alone, some five-hundred hospitals rely on DataCore storage virtualization solutions. This success reflects a broader trend of health care organizations throughout the world embracing DataCore’s affordable, open storage solutions. The rapidly rising amount of data in healthcare due to the increasing digitization of patients’ data, X-rays and imaging records as well as the higher demands for data retention compliance laws (from regulations such as HIPAA) are greatly impacting storage choices. This dramatic increase for data storage combined with mounting cost pressures on IT departments make DataCore’s cost-efficient solutions extraordinarily attractive for healthcare organizations. DataCore’s storage virtualization solutions cover the widest range of storage needs – from smaller LAN based iSCSI storage networks to the largest data center-wide SAN infrastructures.
For healthcare as well as other industries, the significant benefits of DataCore’s storage solutions are hardware independence, lower administrative efforts, more effective utilization of the existing storage, as well as flexibility when expanding capacities. This hardware independence provides a high degree of investment protection and means that an enterprise’s choice of drives or servers for inclusion in the storage pool mix can be based on whatever criteria the customer chooses.
Healthcare institutions of all sizes are embracing the DataCore software-based approach to storage virtualization in order to enable them to overcome storage-related funding roadblocks, downtime and performance issues. Why don’t you join their ranks?

DataCore Solutions help Healthcare users:
- Avoid risks – By preventing storage from becoming a major source of disruptions or a single point of failure.
- Boost Productivity – By speeding up responses (accelerating disk read/write performance by a factor of 2 to 3 times) while eliminating storage-related downtime.
- Contain Costs – By taking advantage of existing drives/arrays and lower cost devices in a SAN to significantly reduce capital expenditures. DataCore enables customers to optimize their utilization rates (typically from 40% to over 80%) and defer spending on capacity expansion because they offer SAN-wide thin provisioning, pooling and low-impact snapshots.
- Protect Investments – By maintaining the same SAN-wide functions across multiple generations of hardware devices and manufacturers. This also enables the movement of DataCore’s solutions to faster, higher performance platforms when desired – in order to increase performance, scalability and overall value.
