Results

Business Transformation

Employees working at other clinics and at the German Consortium for Tumor Diseases can work remotely and quickly access sensitive data within a secure environment. Sensitive data is now available faster and easier.

IT Transformation

With the five FlashArray arrays distributed over two data centers, the storage management effort at the DKFZ has been significantly reduced.
The DKFZ was able to achieve higher stability and faster access times.
The DKFZ was also able to reduce space requirements in the data centers by 50 to 70 percent.

“The decisive factors for us in switching to all-flash memory were the options for deduplication and compression as well as the virtualization of servers, which is excellently supported by Pure Storage.”
