HEALTHCARE & LIFE SCIENCES

The Flexibility to Move Data Easily

With each technological advancement and improvement comes new opportunities to advance patient care, improve quality of life, and create specialized healthcare plans to benefit every patient. But new opportunities can introduce new challenges.

The major data challenges that healthcare and life science organizations face today is moving and managing the data that’s driving these discoveries and advancements.

Whether in the research lab, at a clinic, or behind the administrative desk, file transfer can be improved with a secure fast file transfer solution.

Healthcare and Health Research Generates a Lot of Big Data

The amount of data captured in healthcare and life sciences is astounding – and it’s growing every day.

From multiple terabyte ultra-high definition microscopic imagery to full genomic sequences that takes up hundreds of gigabytes, this crucial information creates massive datasets.

It’s not only new technology and discoveries that are driving the increase in both data and file sizes. Patients themselves are contributing to larger datasets. In an effort to provide personalized, tailored, and effective treatment, patient histories are increasingly including wearable and EMR records. And due to the sensitive nature of this data, it can’t be left open to the risk and exposure of a traditional file transfer method.

Securely Sharing Healthcare Data is Critical

Healthcare data not only needs to be captured, stored, and archived – it also needs to be shared with a wide variety of organizations and professionals across the globe.

Traditional FTP-based solutions simply are not up to the task of reliably and securely transferring datasets of this size. Even at peak performance, FTP solutions like HTTP and TCP can be slow to the point of taking several days for a single file transfer. Latency and packet loss only make this challenge greater, creating an inefficient, insecure, and unreliable workflow.

How FileCatalyst Simplifies File Sharing for Healthcare

To ease these burdens and allow professionals to focus on their work, FileCatalyst’s fast file transfer software solution provides fast file transfer to easily send massive files at unprecedented speeds. FileCatalyst also ensures the security and integrity of data with transfer methods and security features that are fully HIPAA compliant.

With a fast file transfer solution that can reach multi-gigabit speeds, medical workflows can become exponentially faster, more secure, and more reliable.
