Hospitals to Gain Unprecedented Performance of Their Epic Electronic Medical Records Systems With Hitachi Unified Storage VM With Flash Acceleration

SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 23, 2014) - Hitachi Data Systems Corporation (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. ( TSE : 6501 ), today announced that its Hitachi Unified Storage VM when combined with Hitachi Accelerated Flash exceeds Epic's most stringent performance targets for its electronic medical records system. This industry confirmation of low latency and high performance will help to protect clinicians and healthcare organizations against the risks associated with data loss, performance gridlocks, and front line patient care.

"No hospital wants to be faced with the possibility of downtime or poor access to critical patient data," said Dave Wilson, chief technology officer, Health and Life Sciences, Hitachi Data Systems. "Achieving this level of performance allows better safeguarding of patient data without impacting production. We want our customers to enjoy all the business and clinical benefits of their Epic environment with the added confidence that reliability, stability and performance can bring."

The Epic EpicCare EMR solution offers healthcare organizations a powerful way to transform a hospital to be more patient-centric. HUS VM with flash acceleration maximizes this business and clinical value without forcing tradeoffs between higher efficiencies, better economics, and more effective patient care. For hospitals that require enterprise functionality without an enterprise storage budget, the recommended Hitachi Data Systems solution is ideally suited to straddle the gap between midrange and enterprise storage needs.

Hitachi Data Systems continues to successfully implement infrastructure environments with hospitals that have chosen the Epic EMR platform, demonstrating superior performance, reliability and innovation. "Today, HDS and Epic continue to work together with organizations to ensure that configurations meet the stringent requirements of Epic," said Wilson. "Further, we are committed to testing new platforms, as they become available, to ensure that they are ready for Epic customers."
