Scalable Storage Solutions Offer Organizations Financial Flexibility
Sandberg notes that financial flexibility is another key benefit. “The healthcare ecosystem is always under financial pressures, whether it’s from government regulations or the needs of their patient population. Considering these demands, it’s essential that organizations deploy cost-effective, scalable solutions that don’t require the staff and capital costs of legacy storage solutions at end of life. When our customers deploy Pure Storage, we always tell them that this will be their last data migration”
By redirecting storage overhead, organizations can use staff and expertise for initiatives that directly impact patient care.
Pure Storage’s infrastructure allows organizations to scale as quickly as needed, ensuring they can support new initiatives such as telemedicine or artificial intelligence-driven imaging analysis without being constrained by outdated storage capacity.
The company offers a subscription model that allows organizations to add or remove capacity without risky and expensive migrations.
“Organizations don’t have to commit to a certain amount of storage and hope they don’t outgrow it,” Sandberg says.
This flexibility reduces both financial and operational risks while supporting strategic growth.

Looking to the Future
What’s next for healthcare? Sandberg notes that Pure Storage is helping healthcare systems prepare for the increasing adoption of advanced analytics and AI technologies. However, she notes that many healthcare organizations first must address long-standing data silos.
“One of the challenges healthcare organizations have had is that they have siloed sets of data across multiple systems, which traditionally have not been shared across the enterprise,” she says.
To take advantage of AI, healthcare providers must first consolidate and rationalize their data infrastructure.
“We talk about infrastructure rationalization a lot, which means taking an inventory of your infrastructure, making a plan for the end of life of legacy storage and looking toward a standardized future on the Pure Storage enterprise platform,” she says. “By providing a unified foundation that reduces the complexity of pulling, converting and sharing data across different platforms, sites can build a platform for AI and analytics.”
“Pure Storage is dedicated to helping our clients deploy AI, but not just for use in their own organizations,” Sandberg adds. “By building AI platforms in healthcare, we can start sharing data across broader communities, which will improve patient outcomes. In the end, that’s what it’s all about.”
