Technology plays an essential role at St. Joseph\u2019s Health in New Jersey, from supporting electronic health records and lab tests to email and administration. The IT infrastructure must be available around the clock – just like the doctors, nurses and support staff who rely on it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesse Fasolo has an important responsibility. When aging storage impacted hospital operations, Fasolo, the Director of Technology and Information Security, turned to Pure Storage for dramatically faster performance. In the process, he set the stage for a more data-driven healthcare organization, supporting initiatives such as AI-powered analytics and the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losing sleep over storage performance<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Fasolo joined St. Joseph\u2019s Health, the IT organization was under new leadership and looking to leverage technology in service of healthcare excellence. It was Fasolo\u2019s job to create a future-ready IT foundation – helping clinicians and staff work more efficiently while paving the way for future initiatives in the cloud and AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage was a critical piece of the puzzle. At the time, the legacy implementation caused headaches for IT and frustration for clinicians – with poor performance, slow backups and frequent downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe battled fires every day just to keep systems running,\u201d Fasolo remembers. \u201cSomething as simple as a mass email with a PDF could cut into performance, keeping patients waiting to be admitted or doctors waiting for lab results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That kept Fasolo up at night. \u201cI would sleep with my phone on my chest, worrying about what might happen,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solid investment in storage improves staff results<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOut of all the competitors, Pure Storage had the right technology to take us into the future. And it was something I wouldn\u2019t have to turn around and replace right away,\u201d he says. \u201cPlus, Pure helped me develop a strategic plan – other vendors just wanted to sell me a box.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution from Pure boosts the performance and reliability for clinical applications, email, analytics, Citrix VDI and more. The solution enables daily backups and snapshots every 15 minutes, with zero impact on crucial systems. Email backups take two hours instead of four days. If there is an outage in one data center, systems continue to run seamlessly. The redundancy across multiple locations creates a true active – active virtual solution. And login times for users have gone from minutes to seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn healthcare, every second counts,\u201d says Fasolo. \u201cWith Pure Storage, we\u2019re saving clinicians and those who support them a lot of time over the course of a day so they can focus on delivering the best patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud-ready storage foundation brings health and longevity<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Pure, Fasolo can start moving workloads to the cloud – a cost-effective way to archive data for compliance purposes. The technology also allows St. Joseph\u2019s to start using the AI-driven analytics capabilities within some of its clinical applications, helping to bring patient care to new levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Pure Storage, I\u2019m now in the position to say \u2018yes, we can support that\u2019 to just about anything the organization requires,\u201d Jesse says.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
