50+ large hospital systems trust Scality to store and protect their data
Nowhere is data more critical than in healthcare, and it’s fueling an astounding transformation — from healthcare to health, from treatment to prevention.
Every second of every day, an exponential amount of healthcare data — ranging from personal health information and genetic sequences to radiological images and even video footage of surgical procedures — is created and mined for valuable insights.
Approximately 30% of the world’s data volume is generated by the healthcare industry, and by the compound annual growth rate of healthcare data will reach 36% by 2025. This explosion comes with a host of security and privacy concerns, limited flexibility, shadow IT issues and intense cost-savings pressure. Departmental PACS and storage silos make consistent data management, security and availability a huge challenge.
Storage challenges for healthcare
Technology refresh cycles
In 2016, US hospitals managed one exabyte of medical imaging data. That data is now growing at 50% per year.
Increasing costs
Imaging costs amount to more than $100 billion per year. Currently 7.5-10% of total medical costs are imaging-related.
Data privacy
Regulatory oversight governing retention, availability, privacy and security is increasing — for good reason. 88% of healthcare providers experienced at least one cyberattack in 2024.
Value extraction
The fact that health, well-being and even lives depend on data is clear, yet 80% of healthcare providers don’t yet have a data management strategy.
Cloud initiatives
Hospitals want the services and cost advantages of cloud computing and storage, but cloud — and its integration into the healthcare workflow — must be simple, secure and manageable.
Data access
Uptime and 100% availability are critical to patient care and clinician satisfaction.
Why IT leaders in healthcare organizations love Scality
Having the right storage in place for healthcare data affects both individual patient care and institutional efficiency. For clinicians to make faster, more accurate diagnosis and to help researchers develop life-changing therapies, they must have access to massive amounts of data collected over long periods of time.
Built to accommodate the demands of any workload at any scale, Scality empowers enterprises with data storage that is secure and resilient, highly performant and available.
Scality specializes in protecting and managing huge volumes of unstructured data, both on-premise and in public clouds. We’re a trusted partner to a diverse range of healthcare companies across the globe, including 50+ of the world’s largest hospital systems.
Scality RING for medical imaging
Ensure efficient medical imaging workflows while lowering TCO.
“In collaboration with Scality, we have solved our analytics processing needs through a two-tier storage solution, with all-flash access of temporary hot data sets and long-term persistent storage in RING.
We trust RING to protect the petabytes of mission-critical data that enable us to carry out our mission of improving care for patients suffering from cancer and other diseases.”
Scality solutions for the healthcare industry offer:
Multidimensional scalability
Scality RING is limitlessly flexible to grow with you in number of apps, capacity, objects, buckets, transactions, throughput (and more) as a single system with guaranteed response and continuous availability.
Acting as a single, distributed system, RING scales linearly across three to thousands of servers and multiple sites with the ability to store an unlimited number of objects.
Low TCO
For maximum compatibility and cost-savings, Scality software is designed for deployment on industry-standard x64 server platform hardware, disk drives and standard IP networks. By riding on the declining cost of commodity hardware, the cost of ownership is minimized.
Unlike conventional storage, our design enables worry-free capacity expansion, upgrade and swap-out as data is managed by the software, not tied to appliance form factors.
Unbreakable, enterprise-grade security
Scality supports regulatory requirements for privacy and security with secure multi-tenancy with AWS-compatible identity and access management (IAM), signature v4 authentication, access control and industry-standard AES256 encryption.
Scality offers enhanced ransomware protection with support for the S3 Object Lock API — which renders data immutable by preventing it from being deleted or overwritten (for a period of time or indefinitely) — plus CORE5 end-to-end cyber resilience capabilities.
Object and native file capabilities
Leverage storage and compute resources across a broad range of options with no data lock-in.
Data availability and visibility
Complete UI-based system-level management and monitoring of all data services, data health, cloud workflows and hardware platform health help make data more visible. Comprehensive analytics provide detailed metrics for utilization reporting and informed decision-making.
