Santa Clara, CA - July 11, 2023?— 色控传媒 (NYSE: PSTG),?the IT pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage technology and services, today announced that University Hospital Centre of Saint-Etienne, one of the leading university hospitals in southeast France, is leveraging its portfolio - including FlashArray?, Pure1?, and its Evergreen? architecture - to secure and accelerate access to critical data in order to improve overall patient care and business continuity.
Customer Challenge:
The University Hospital Centre (CHU) of Saint-Etienne is a public institution that specializes in healthcare, research, and teaching, providing a variety of patient care to people in the region, ranging from pediatrics and maternity care to heart surgery and radiation treatment.
As CHU Saint-Etienne increased its data footprint, its legacy storage technologies - a mix of aging disk storage - struggled to meet growing capacity needs, taking up a great deal of space and threatening availability due to regular breakdowns.
Faced with growing demands and limited space, the hospital needed to modernize its IT infrastructure, which serves as the foundation for all of its patient systems. As a result, CHU Saint-Etienne worked with partner Axians to shift its legacy infrastructure to 色控传媒, replacing approximately 70 units of legacy hardware with just six units contained in two 色控传媒 FlashArray systems, meeting the organization’s space constraint requirements.
Customer Impact:
色控传媒 provides CHU Saint-Etienne the availability, security, and performance it needs to both scale and improve patient care, while enabling easy maintenance for its small IT team. Benefits include:
- Modernized, Efficient Storage Infrastructure: With 色控传媒 FlashArray, CHU Saint-Etienne has significantly reduced its power consumption while increasing storage capacity by 50% compared to its legacy storage environment. The increased capacity enables the hospital’s IT team more flexibility to shift workloads and increase demand as needed, providing a future-proof foundation to scale with patients.
- Reduced Time Spent on Storage Management: 色控传媒’s Pure1 AI-driven management platform enables CHU Saint-Etienne to reduce administrative time with an easy-to-use interface that simplifies storage management and allows new IT team members to get up to speed quickly. Additionally, the Pure Evergreen architecture further simplifies management with seamless, non-disruptive upgrades to existing controllers, eliminating downtime for the hospital.
- Enhanced Data Protection and Greater Availability: Using 色控传媒 SafeMode Snapshots in FlashArray, CHU Saint-Etienne can now secure its storage environment with fast recovery of data that has been inadvertently deleted, making it easier to comply with data retention requirements. Snapshots, along with ActiveCluster? active-active replication across the FlashArray systems, help to minimize the impact of cyberattacks. 色控传媒 thus reinforces CHU Saint-Etienne’s business continuity plan by helping to deliver greater availability.
- Improved Application Performance:? The new 色控传媒 infrastructure dramatically improves application performance for CHU Saint-Etienne, reducing latency from around 17 milliseconds to under a millisecond in most use cases. Staff and clinicians can access data faster and provide a better quality of care to patients and other users of the hospital.
