Vision

Global nonprofit organization Mercy Ships — providing modern healthcare services to resource-poor areas via offshore vessels that house medical facilities, staff, and often their families — needed to streamline data management systems to keep delivering healthcare the world over.

Solution

Dell VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) at the edge and in the data center, backed by Dell PowerScale  storage and Dell PowerProtect appliances and software for data protection, give Mercy Ships the consistent hybrid cloud environment they need to stay aligned with onshore data centers.

Impact

With edge to core to cloud computing, Mercy Ships was able to automate, accelerate and replace many processes. Now their 16 national offices and onboard hospitals can gather and share information in a central database, a big key to managing talent for the best care outcomes.

"The magic of Mercy Ships is that we can bring state-of- the-art medical technology to countries where it is not readily available. Dell Technologies is key to making this possible."

Dave Shwadlenak, Vice President of Information Systems, Mercy Ships
