Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Healthcare IT Infrastructure

Thu, 01 Mar 2018 08:45:50 +0000

The Maslow Hierarchy of Needs describes a series of universal needs as motivators for human behaviors. From a patient experience perspective that would include things like, easy access to healthcare services, and a focus on staying patient-centered.

However, nowadays healthcare delivery-of-care is hugely dependant on digital systems such as Electronic Medical Records and Picture Archiving Systems. Keeping these life-critical systems running 24/7 is a monumental task for Healthcare IT. Moreover, data security management to Patient Health Information (PHI) is likely the most critical competency that Healthcare IT needs to assimilate nowadays.

Datrium Audited as the Highest IOmark Benchmark Result in History - Mind-Blowing 10X!

"Datrium is the most scalable, fastest and lower latency storage solution (converged or not) on the market, beyond doubt."

We already knew that our solution is really competent, but there's nothing like a 3rd party audited benchmark to convince even the most suspicious greybeards. The results are mind-blowing!

The story of ‘Open Convergence’ and why I joined Datrium

Mon, 15 May 2017 12:01:58 +0000

It is not often that an opportunity to join a cutting edge technology company appears to us in a lifetime and I have done it twice now - I consider myself very lucky.

Firstly, the team at Datrium formed part of the founding teams for Data Domain and VMware. Data Domain revolutionized the enterprise storage industry by introducing deduplication technology, and VMware does not need introductions. Diane Greene and Mendel Rosenblum, VMware founders, are early funders at Datrium, and some of the top Valley VCs like Lightspeed and NEA (Nutanix, Riverbed, Nest, Uber, Workday, etc…) are also investors.
