U.S. healthcare system deploys Komprise to achieve $4 million a year in savings and growing with 3x larger data volumes tiered after departmental involvement.
The IT organization at the large health system decided they needed an effective cost-cutting plan that reduced central IT overhead and engendered buy-in from researchers, clinicians and faculty by including them in the process of actively managing their data. The objective was to accelerate the tiering of cold data that is no longer needed to dramatically lower costs.
In a few months, departmental tagging resulted in the tiering of 3x more data than was tiered over the previous 7-month period. Now, more than 100 departmental managers are using Komprise to view and tag their data for tiering. Thanks to departmental collaboration and communication, the savings have catapulted – while creating a mutually-beneficial relationship between IT and the departments. Beyond managing data storage, the health system’s IT organization is now delivering valuable data services to researchers, furthering their productivity and cost savings.
“I’m working on reorganizing and cleaning up data on our NAS and with Komprise I can see details within the folders and shares, such as who’s using the data and who created the data,” said the storage director. “This visibility has been invaluable to find the cold data, tag it and execute automated plans.”
