Why Healthcare Organizations Should Consider Next-Generation Data Centers

As healthcare data volumes soar, next-generation storage platforms like HPE’s help hospitals keep pace with performance, security and real-time access demands.Many hospitals and health systems are reaching a tipping point as they struggle to store, organize and leverage an exponentially increasing volume of data.Traditional storage architectures, originally built for limited, structured data sets, are straining under the avalanche of data accumulated by electronic health records, wearable sensors, remote monitoring devices and medical imaging.Chris Platt, chief technologist for healthcare life sciences at HPE, explains that the issue isn’t just scale, it’s what providers can do with that data.

According to Platt, a midsized hospital network may now generate upward of 55 petabytes of data per year.While most of that data goes unused after its immediate value expires, it’s becoming increasingly relevant for long-term initiatives such as AI model training and real-time clinical decision support.
