Alacritech Inc., the leader of innovative data-delivery technology, today announced that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) has adopted a networked storage strategy and incorporated Alacritech Scalable Network Accelerators (SNAs) to assist in the efficient management and backup of its large and growing pool of data. The increased efficiency of its systems allows end users -- doctors, nurses, pharmacists, administrative staff -- to quickly access patient information whenever and wherever they need it.

With more than 48,000 employees and serving upwards of 4 million people each year, the medical center is the leading health care system in western Pennsylvania and one of the largest integrated, non-profit healthcare systems in the United States. Known for its clinical innovation and outstanding patient care, UPMC invests millions of dollars annually to ensure quality care for its growing patient population. With the large amount of critical medical data, and privacy concerns regarding Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, UPMC's IT staff implemented a networked storage strategy that would significantly improve its management and backup process.
