Commvault and HP Enterprise Forge Healthcare Data Alliance

Commvault, a New Jersey-based company specializing in enterprise backup, recovery, archive and the cloud, has announced a strategic partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to deliver Commvault’s healthcare solutions, pre-validated on HPE infrastructure, through HPE and its global network of channel partners. These solutions include Commvault Clinical Archive and the Commvault Data Platform to protect and manage critical Meditech, Epic and other EHR data, as well as medical images across the healthcare enterprise.

These new healthcare solutions are promised to be tightly integrated and optimized for HPE Storage and other infrastructure products, including StoreOnce, 3PAR, Nimble, Apollo and Proliant.

“Increasing amounts and types of mission-critical data, stricter regulatory requirements and the growing threat from ransomware and other cybersecurity attacks are increasing the costs and complexity of data management and protection for healthcare organizations,” said Patrick Osborne, director of storage and big data product management at HPE. “With this agreement, our healthcare customers now have a one-stop shop for finding HPE integrated and certified Commvault solutions that help them to simplify data management and protection, increase data availability, reduce costs, and minimize regulatory compliance risk, while also empowering them to better activate data for valuable insights.”

Commvault Software includes data encryption capabilities, enabling healthcare providers to meet the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act and other patient data privacy compliance requirements.
