Veritas Technologies has announced that the enterprise data protection company will offer support for the AWS for Health initiative from Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The move aims at advancing cloud adoption in the healthcare sector.
“AWS has demonstrated a commitment to healthcare and worked with Veritas to support this industry when it needed our help the most,” said Rick Bryant, Healthcare CTO for Veritas.
“It is not often that we can tie our solutions directly to helping the country fight something as important as COVID-19, so we are proud to stand with AWS to support healthcare organizations solve its toughest data management challenges across backup, disaster recovery, migration, archiving and application resiliency use cases.”
AWS for Health is an initiative featuring services and solutions from AWS and its partners, built specifically for healthcare, biopharma and genomics customers.
According to the company, the initiative makes it easier for health customers to select the right tools and partners for their highest-priority workloads.
For customers looking to accelerate deployments with solution-specific support, AWS for Health also identifies dedicated AWS health industry specialists, AWS Professional Services teams and leading AWS Partners in each solution area.
Veritas worked in collaboration with AWS to support the healthcare industry. Veritas enabled healthcare organisations to easily move applications to the cloud with confidence.
By running on AWS, Veritas enabled hospitals to rapidly scale and securely spin up surge capacity on demand. This allowed healthcare firms to provide the necessary access to clinical systems for both remote workers and testing facilities.
Recognising the telehealth challenges experienced by healthcare organisations such as hospitals and doctor offices as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Veritas adapted Enterprise Vault, its proven compliance and classification technology that runs on AWS, to help provide supervision and compliance offerings.
This helped healthcare customers ensure that their remote workers were following clinical protocols and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for virtual patient interactions, which changed on a daily basis throughout the pandemic.
By leveraging the cloud, Veritas helps make telehealth a sustainable practice, ensuring patient experience quality and satisfaction, treatment protocol compliance and the security of protected health information as required by HIPAA.
Using the breadth and depth of AWS services, Veritas enables customers to solve data management challenges across use cases including archiving (Veritas Enterprise Vault); application resiliency (Veritas InfoScale); and backup, migration and disaster recovery (Veritas NetBackup and Veritas Resiliency Platform).
