One of the U.K.s top health care organizations is looking for a speedy ROI after a major overhaul of its SAN infrastructure, which slashed its backup times and overhauled its disaster recovery strategy.
The St. Helens & Knowsley Trust, which is located in the north of England, has been rated as one of the top organizations within the countrys National Health Service (NHS), and provides free health care to around half a million patients a year.
With about 1,000 beds in its Whiston and St.Helens hospitals, the Trust provides data storage for around 10,000 users in the Merseyside area, but realized last year that its existing SAN infrastructure needed a major overhaul.
In terms of capacity, we had to do something, explains Phil Corrin, the Trusts assistant director for Informatics, explaining that its two 15-Tbyte HP EVAs were almost three quarters full. [But] we didnt do the simple thing of upgrading the SANs.
Instead, Corrin and his team opted to add an archiving system to the existing infrastructure, deploying two 30-Tbyte NetApp SAN boxes and Symantec backup software.
With the move to the cloud, CISOs must shift priorities from operating security programs to overseeing (monitoring and auditing) outsourced cybersecurity programs.
2022 was a boon year for IT salaries. 2023 came in like a beast with layoffs, raise freezes, and ChatGPT, but that beast has few teeth.
Age is only a number. Don't let a high number cancel your career.
