Pediatrics
The Department of Pediatrics at UCSF is committed to excellence in research,
education and the clinical care of infants, children and young adults.
The department needed an expandable, highly available, reliable, HIPAA
compliant and easily accessible storage system to meet their growing storage
requirements. The growth in storage comes from research labs and clinical
science units .
The department uses the ISU storage system to house all of their data.
The department receives 200 MB of free file storage per user; complete
data backup to disk and tape; offsite backup storage with Iron Mountain;
and secure, HIPAA compliant file storage on protected "P " drives
for sensitive data.
- Storage has grown at a rate of 35-40% per year with major growth areas
in laboratory and clinical research.
- Previously underserved labs have moved their data to ISU. The mainly
Apple computer users are now able to store and backup their valuable
research data.
- File restores are very simple. Users can restore versions of their
files without requesting a copy from tape. Snapshots of data are kept
for up to 30 days.
- The amount of ePHI keeps growing. Data continues to migrate from the
regular shared space to the PHI share.
