Case Study: University of Utah Health Care achieves 10‑fold storage cost reduction and greater agility for better patient care with Hitachi Vantara

How University of Utah Health Improves Patient Care With Hybrid Cloud

University of Utah Health Care faced rising data volumes and the need to give clinicians, researchers and administrators seamless, secure access to critical information while cutting storage costs. To modernize a traditional data center and enable hybrid cloud agility, they engaged Hitachi Vantara and adopted Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP), Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) and Hitachi NAS Platform (HNAS) alongside Hitachi Vantara implementation services.

Hitachi Vantara delivered a hybrid cloud data center with automated tiering, ransomware protection, encryption for data at rest, cloud migration for suitable workloads and Pentaho-based analytics for chargeback and reporting. The deployment reduced storage costs tenfold, accelerated workloads by up to 40%, eliminated tape backups with dynamic protection, delivered 100% uptime since implementation and increased IT agility while safeguarding patient data.
