The paper discusses the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) and how it will benefit organizations. It highlight the need for the ILM, outlining the strategies for a successful ILM. The report also includes a case study on a hospital where the ILM helped solve medical
data problems.
Case study: ILM Helps Cleveland
Clinic Maintain Outstanding Quality Care.
The Cleveland Clinic, one of the top five hospitals in the United States is one of the busiest in the world. With its size, organization is challenged with maintaining massive volumes of patient’s data which grows currently at about 1.5TB per week. It was thus necessary for Physicians at the clinic
needed to refer quickly to a patient’s history to aid in diagnosis and treatment to have efficient access to medical data which can mean the difference between Life and death. To maintain the data reliably, efficiently, and cost-effectively, the Cleveland Clinic chose to deploy Sun’s
Content Infrastructure System across their radiology and cardiology departments. The multi-tiered, policy-managed archiving system utilizes Sun StorEdgeTM SAM-FS/QFS software to manage and store large amounts of data on different types of storage
media based on how current the data is and how quickly it might be needed. The software automatically moves data that is less often accessed to lower
cost media such as tape, while keeping data requiring quick access on high-performance disk storage. Sun’s Content Infrastructure System is expected to reduce IT cost and complexity by providing continuous policy based data migration to application appropriate media over time, and self-service restore.
Through the deployment of a Data Lifecycle Management Infrastructure (DLM) total cost of sharing information and making it accessible to users is reduced: this is through right access, right media and right performance. The second tool is Security; this would ensure identity verification in compliance with industry standard. The third element is the
Systems and Application Integration. Although some vendors can offer the benefits of an end-to-end product line and broader experience, typically no single vendor has all the pieces needed for a customized, comprehensive ILM strategy that will best meet all particular business needs. An open systems approach that assembles best-of-class components and involves ISV partners helps result in the best possible solutions for organizations.
The sheer size and importance of documents, records, web content, and digital images poses a challenge to today's Content Enterprise. Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is a wonderful tool for businesses that want to maintain safe systems to improve service delivery and efficiency at reduced costs. Sun can provide the comprehensive ILM solutions needed to meet
