Hybrid cloud data management provides the capability to meet these requirements. Here’s how:

  • Data analysis: Healthcare organizations need to measure sensitive data to determine whether it is PHI, redundant, obsolete, trivial (ROT), hot, or cold. This will allow them to store and protect sensitive data efficiently.
    Modern analytics workloads require data integration, high-performance computing (HPC), data warehousing, and storage capabilities that legacy infrastructures cannot provide. Taking advantage of next-gen hybrid cloud infrastructure, businesses can improve colocation, access the latest business intelligence (BI) tools, and utilize cloud bursting capabilities.
  • Data migration: Hybrid cloud configurations let companies gradually combine private-cloud and public-cloud features in a HIPPA compliant manner.. With intelligent, automated data migrations, healthcare providers are able to ensure secure storage and associated backup and data protection.
  • Data security: Healthcare protection is vital as it relates to an individual’ medical information. Storing it and ensuring secure access is not just a legal but an ethical responsibility borne by all those that are custodians of it. Ensuring sharing of this data is done in an effective manner, within and across providers, as required to drive the best outcome for the patient is vital. Segregating sensitive and generic patient records allows for appropriate bifurcation of leveraging the best means of storing data in a hybrid environment.
  • Data compliance: Hybrid cloud storage lets healthcare organizations store highly regulated data  on-premise servers, helping them manage and secure IT infrastructure for complete compliance and visibility into the organization’s HIPAA requirements.
  • Storage optimization: Cloud hybrid models provide flexibility in data management regarding data that meets privacy regulations and data that doesn’t. In instances where data is archived, or its access frequency is below a certain threshold, pay-as-you-go storage systems can be set up to move it to cheap public cloud storage. In addition, an isolated environment can be created with limited access to regulated, PII/PHI, and business-critical data.
    Moreover, a hybrid cloud can provide nurses and medical professionals seamless interoperability and data access. The cloud allows medical providers to exchange data, increasing cooperation and improving treatment. Furthermore, it is flexible, can scale on-demand, and is easy to manage day-to-day operations.
  • Data Augmentation: Data augmentation is the process of preparing data to maximize its value, generate insights, and improve data quality. In a hybrid cloud, healthcare providers can enable data augmentation by storing data optimally in the best location and performing effective analysis to extract ultimate value from the data. Enterprises can easily modernize their data ecosystem, increase business agility, improve operational resilience, enhance customer experience, empower storage administrators to do more, and eventually become data curators. Data augmentation is a continuous process and is only possible when an organization migrates its data to the cloud using data-driven intelligence. The organizational and professional growth in such a scenario is significant and sustained.
