Health Bridge Reduces Cloud Costs By Up To 70%
The Healthcare industry, which is battling with spiralling costs to meet ever tighter regulations on medical data security and storage, has an innovative solution at hand. Tiger Technology’s ‘Health Bridge’, Hybrid Cloud Data Life Cycle Management Platform, enables users to access a cloud tier at a fraction of other providers. Indeed, healthcare clients can save up to 70% on the cost of storing unstructured medical data with no vendor lock-in and no disruption to critical healthcare processes.
Digital pathology is a prime use case for ‘Health Bridge’ technology. Implementing digital pathology is complex and requires more than buying scanners to digitize slides and an image viewer. Pathology generates an enormous amount of unstructured data – petabytes for whole slide images – and requires typical data backup and retention times of 10 to 15 years. Health Bridge is a comprehensive solution that effectively use technology to improve clinical services while delivering a strong return on investment.
Private practices, clinics and hospitals can now move archive data to the cloud in a highly cost-effective manner. They will be free from high cloud storage bills and can forget having to opt for on-premises servers and footing the bills for all their associated maintenance and management.
Health Bridge works seamlessly with any major cloud provider and supports multi-cloud scenario. The software even enables organizations with an on-premises-first mindset to adopt the hybrid cloud based on open standards and without having to re-architect workflows. While reducing cloud costs significantly, it also ensures off-site protection and data durability by moving unstructured health data to lower-cost storage tiers.
