Hitachi Vantara and T-Systems Collaborate on New Services

Hitachi Vantara and T-Systems North America (TSNA) reportedly are collaborating to develop new Hitachi Vantara-powered managed services. The services will target the challenges and opportunities that face healthcare and life sciences customers and will target enterprise imaging and other business operational systems.

The Enterprise Imaging Data Protection solution from TSNA is comprised of two as-a-service offerings. These offerings are cloud data storage and cloud data replication. The offerings protect clinical, diagnostic and analytics data. They also allow for consolidated access to Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM data generated by Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and image analysis solutions.

“Increasingly, our customers are embracing the cloud as a means to drive their digital transformation. Together with Hitachi Vantara, we have developed a targeted managed service offering that delivers the specific performance, business agility, availability and data protection healthcare and life sciences customers require to support their efforts to deliver better patient care at lower cost,” said Jim Sabogal, head, Healthcare and Life Sciences, TSNA.

The services are available through a consumption model that allows healthcare and life sciences organizations to move from capex to opex business models. They will be able to meet rigorous performance, security and compliance requirements and also improve business agility and cost predictability.

“With aligned strategies to accelerate innovation and support digital transformations for our customers, we have enjoyed a long-standing, successful partnership with T-Systems North America. Today, we are pleased to announce the extension of our collaboration to address the current and emerging data management and data protection needs of healthcare and life sciences organizations, including simplified access to DICOM data, with the new Enterprise Imaging Data Protection Solution from T-Systems North America powered by Hitachi Vantara,” said Jeff Kenkel, CTO, healthcare and life sciences, Hitachi Vantara.
