关于客户
英国公共卫生部 (PHE) 是英国卫生部的一个执行机构。PHE 成立于 2013 年，其使命是保护和改善国民健康，同时减少健康不平等。PHE 拥有 5,500 多名员工，其中大多数是科学家和公共卫生专业人员，致力于通过研究、分析和指导政府实体以及支持地方政府、国家医疗服务体系和其他组织的行动，使公众更加健康。例如，PHE 一直在密切监测 2014 年西非埃博拉病毒疫情，这是该疾病已知的最大疫情，以评估对英国的风险并确保建立机制来检测和应对全国范围内的任何异常感染。
挑战
英国公共卫生部 (PHE) 成立的目的是将来自 70 多个组织的健康专家整合到一个公共卫生服务机构中。PHE 的使命是保护和改善国民健康，同时减少健康不平等。PHE 的 MS 生物信息学部门参与建立了下一代测序 (NGS) 服务，该服务提供对病原体全基因组进行测序的方法。该序列可用于表征和分类病原体，进而可用于识别和监测当地和全国的疫情。相同的序列还可以帮助科学家更好地了解细菌和病毒的进化或预测抗生素耐药性模式的趋势。为了更好地支持其 NGS 分析服务，PHE MS 寻求一种高性能计算 (HPC) 系统，该系统能够同时处理从医院和其他利益相关者收到的数百个细菌样本。
解决方案
为了实施理想的解决方案，PHE 与 OCF 合作，后者是一家拥有强大合作伙伴生态系统和成熟 HPC 专业知识的集成商。在性能和弹性方面，存储是决策过程中的关键部分。在存储方面做出选择非常复杂，因为组织必须拥有正确的软件组合才能经济高效地实现所需的性能。软件的复杂性以及系统的维护、扩展和管理系统的方式都是最终决策的因素。因此，PHE 部署了 DDN 的 SFA10K EXAScaler 存储设备，该设备具有 Lustre 并行文件系统和 300TB 的高性能存储。该团队与 OCF 合作实施了 DDN 的 SFA 高性能存储系统，以支持其 NGS 服务将生成的大量研究数据。部署后不久，PHE 选择了容量为 360TB 的 DDN WOS 对象存储平台，既可用作宝贵公共数据的活动存档，也可用作其主要站点的异地备份。

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
