Health plans process billions of claims electronically each year. Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) estimates that approximately 10% of claims still arrive as paper documents, accounting for hundreds of millions of paper submissions annually in the U.S. These paper claims create processing bottlenecks and consume a disproportionate share of operational costs and resources, with […]

Managing storage resources efficiently in cloud environments is a challenge for organizations of all sizes. As businesses scale their operations, they often accumulate unused storage volumes that continue to generate costs without providing value. This ‘orphaned’ storage problem is particularly acute in containerized environments, where the complexity of storage lifecycle management can lead to oversight […]

Databases are a fundamental component for any organization with its own IT infrastructure powering various applications. Making sure of the smooth operation of database servers is vital because any performance disruptions can impact numerous users and their activities. Many companies experience performance slowdowns in their applications due to storage latency during database operations. To tackle […]

Data caching is a critical strategy for optimizing application performance in today’s data-intensive environments. By storing frequently accessed information in high-speed storage locations, organizations can dramatically reduce access times, optimize the use of compute resources, and improve overall system responsiveness. Effective caching strategies become particularly essential for workloads that require consistent low latency, such as […]

Over the past two decades, virtualization, specifically VMware was the key technology trend that has helped organizations reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and simplify infrastructure management. However, the technology landscape is rapidly evolving. Cloud service providers now offer advanced hypervisor capabilities that match or exceed traditional on-premises virtualization solutions, while providing seamless integration with a […]

Encryption serves a fundamental role in securing sensitive data both in transit and at rest. Server-side encryption offers simplicity and ease of implementation, with data encrypted where stored, and enables seamless integration with other services. In contrast, client-side encryption secures data where ingested or created, and offers additional capabilities to meet specific security requirements around […]

Amazon S3 redefined data storage when it launched as the first generally available AWS service in 2006 to deliver highly reliable, durable, secure, low-latency storage with virtually unlimited scale. While designed to deliver simple storage, S3 has proven to be built to handle the explosive growth of data we have seen in the last 19 […]

As data grows exponentially, organizations running Oracle databases prioritize minimizing backup time and quicker recovery times in the event of disasters. Oracle databases on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) often configure an Oracle Fast Recovery Area (FRA) to fulfil data protection, disaster recovery, and compliance requirements. The FRA is a centralized, Oracle-managed storage location that streamlines […]

Mission-critical applications power everything from e-commerce to healthcare, making a solid backup strategy not just a best practice but a vital necessity. Threats like ransomware grow more sophisticated and for AWS users, having backups isn’t enough. Organizations need confidence that these safeguards will perform when disaster strikes. Manual testing, while essential, drains IT resources. Through […]
