SANTA
CLARA, Calif., July 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage®
(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 Pure Storage, replacing approximately 70 units of
legacy hardware with just six units contained in two Pure Storage
FlashArray systems, meeting the organization's space constraint
requirements.
Customer Impact:
Pure Storage 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 Pure
Storage 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: Pure Storage'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
Pure Storage 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. Pure Storage
thus reinforces CHU Saint-Etienne's business continuity plan by
helping to deliver greater availability.
- Improved Application Performance: The new Pure Storage
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.
Executive Insight:
"Moving our legacy storage environment to Pure Storage was one
of the best decisions we could have made as an IT team. Not only
does Pure Storage deliver unrivaled performance and management
capabilities that meet our data storage needs, but it enables us to
truly secure and scale sensitive and business-critical data to meet
growing patient demands, ultimately helping us deliver better care
across the region." – Samuel
Pelissier, IT Infrastructure and Operation Manager, CHU
Saint-Etienne
"We're supporting CHU Saint-Etienne to power the healthcare of
tomorrow. Data is central to delivering better patient outcomes and
faster diagnosis and our solutions enable the University Hospital
in this regard. Not only are we meeting CHU's needs and positively
impacting patients' lives, we're also supporting sustainability for
the public sector organisation in greatly reducing its data centre
footprint." - Hugues Hueze, Country Manager France, Pure
Storage.
