The 10-terabyte HP StorageWorks Medical Archive Solution (MAS) archives and
retrieves PACS images, helps the PACS application run more smoothly, and
increases the speed at which images can be stored and retrieved. This helps
medical staff serve patients more effectively, because there are no delays when
retrieving images. The MAS is highly scalable, allowing RPCI to keep up with
data growth. Because of researcher demands, data grows by an estimated 20
terabytes a year.
RPCI uses the HP StorageWorks Integrated Archive Platform (IAP) for email
archiving for Microsoft Exchange, and to help meet regulatory requirements
around email retention. RISS can search billions of emails and many of the
attachments within seconds and scales to hundreds of terabytes of storage. It
allows RPCI staff to quickly find email for legal discovery and for internal needs,
such as human resources or finance. Previously, it could have taken days to
weeks to find a particular piece of email; with RISS that same task can take 
less than hour. 
Overall, patient care has been improved. With the HP solution, current and
past records and medical images can be called up immediately, and the medical
staff faces no delay in retrieving this vital medical information. 
Because of infrastructure improvements, RPCI can also more easily attract and
retain doctors and researchers. “On the research side, if we provide top-quality
services, we attract better researchers,” explains Tom Vaughan, RPCI Director
of IT Infrastructure.
The HP solution will also pay significant financial dividends, and has a projected,
cumulative, five-year net benefit of $7,530,619, driven by increased IT and staff
productivity, efficiency gains, and decreased downtime. The ROI for the project
will be 107%, with a 22-month payback period.
