Bycast scores Hawaii install

Hawaii Pacific Health (HPH), based in Honolulu, has standardized on Bycast StorageGRID software to store and protect images in its multi-facility medical image storage system.

HPH deployed Bycast StorageGRID software to create a multi-tiered storage hierarchy spanning its data center and hospitals. StorageGRID manages the off-site data replication, data movement and data placement across multiple sites and storage tiers to ensure that relevant data is placed where needed, according to the Vancouver, British Columbia-based Bycast.

HPH, an integrated delivery network, conducts imaging procedures at five facilities located on two islands, Oahu and Kauai. The main data center is located in a sixth location on Oahu. HPH has a network of four hospitals, 18 outpatient centers and 1,100 physicians on four islands.
