INDUSTRY SOLUTION BRIEF: HEALTH CARE AND LIFE SCIENCES

Affordable, Secureand Compliant Data
Storage for Healthcareand Life Sciences

Industry’s Lowest-Priced and Highest-Performing
Cloud Storage Solution
Across the world, healthcare providers and life sciencescompanies are adopting digital technology and leveraging
big data and analytics to improve care, accelerate treatments
and reduce expenses. Electronic record systems, advanced
imaging solutions and smart medical devices are helping
doctors and clinicians improve decision making and deliver
better patient outcomes. And high-performance computingsystems and advanced analytics solutions are helping medicalresearchers, drug companies and equipment manufacturers
gain new insights and accelerate the pace of innovation.
While all this digital information is vitally important, manyorganizations are struggling to keep pace with skyrocketing
data growth. Traditional on-site data storage platforms
are notoriously expensive to deploy, scale and manage.
They require significant upfront capital investments, pricey
maintenance contracts and specially trained IT staff. Firstgeneration cloud storage services like Amazon Simple
Storage Service (S3) eliminate equipment expense andcomplexity, but are still too costly and complicated for manyapplications.
