Follow on Google News | BridgeHead Software and Avnet Technology Solutions to Deliver Storage for the Healthcare MarketThe healthcare market opportunity for storage solution providers depends not only on market-tested technology, but market-specific knowledge, comprehensive channel training and education programs, and pre- and post-sales support.
By: BridgeHead Software “Opportunities for technology resellers are growing in all vertical markets that are subject to regulatory and corporate compliance oversight,” said Ryan Witt, senior vice president, sales & marketing, BridgeHead Software. “This is particularly true in the healthcare market where there are rapidly growing needs for secure management and protection of electronic patient medical records and high resolution medical imaging. Disaster recovery data protection and data security are key requirements for any healthcare institution and are called out specifically by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).” “BridgeHead Software has experienced rapid growth in the North American healthcare market, largely as a result of its long-established relationship with MEDITECH and the integration of its software offering with MEDITECH’s Healthcare Information System and ISB/IDR requirement (Integrated Serverless Backup/Integrated Disaster Recovery). Our new relationship with Avnet will allow us to build on that market success and to expand into other verticals. Avnet and its channel partners will now be able to resell market-proven data management solutions that can be deployed out-of-the-box, on virtually any storage hardware platform, as part of a complete healthcare technology solution,” said Witt. “The need for data protection and disaster recovery solutions is growing at a tremendous pace, particularly in healthcare,” Avnet HealthPath provides the expertise, resources and solutions that Avnet’s channel partners need to accelerate the delivery of solutions for the healthcare market.

As a result, rather than deploying archiving technology piecemeal for individual applications, organizations can deploy data archiving at the enterprise level as a core enterprise technology and service. Enterprise Data Archiving (EDA) is a powerful technology that allows organizations to realize the full potential of centrally managing and creating universal access to data. It goes beyond the traditional storage optimization and compliance benefits of data migration tools by integrating the archiving and backup of all data types in the organization.
