The Challenge: Build a High-Performance, Scalable Storage
Infrastructure

Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI), America’s first cancer center, is the only
upstate New York facility to hold the National Cancer Center designation of
“comprehensive cancer center” and to serve as a member of the prestigious
National Comprehensive Cancer Network.

In addition to providing high-quality care for cancer patients, RPCI is also a major
cancer research center. In order to provide high-quality care, and to remain on the
forefront of research, RPCI needs to have a world-class computing infrastructure.

Toward that end, the institute decided to significantly upgrade its storage and archival
infrastructure. It was looking for a solution that would accomplish the following:
infrastructure. It was looking for a solution that would accomplish the following:
• Improve storage capacity and performance. RPCI’s storage system was at
the end of its life cycle and had to be replaced. RCPI was looking for a storage
system that would have a greater capacity than the previous one, that would
be easily scalable, and that offered high-speed performance.

be easily scalable, and that offered high-speed performance.
• Archive medical images and business information. RPCI uses a picture
archiving and communications system (PACS) for digital medical images.
It needed a storage system that could store and retrieve images at high
speeds. In addition, it was looking to archive older and less-used business
information, including databases, Microsoft Exchange email, and other data
created by business applications to achieve better overall IT performance.
The solution needed to be highly scalable, because RPCI adds an estimated
20 terabytes a year of new images and data.

• Meet HIPAA and other government regulations. The regulatory environment
for health care has become increasingly complex, with health care institutions
required to meet a variety of regulations, including the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). RPCI was looking for a system
that would allow it to easily adhere to all current and future government
regulations, as well as internal governance regulations and processes.
