The Luton and Dunstable NHS Hospital in Luton has selected Moonwalk as an enterprise ILM solution for their Novell Netware environment.

The L&D Hospital is a medium size, general hospital with 500 inpatient beds. The hospital provides a comprehensive range of general medical and surgical services, including A&E, for over 300,000 people in Luton, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and parts of Buckinghamshire.

The catchment population is projected to increase to 500,000 in the next 10 years.

Implementing the Moonwalk ILM technology will provide L&D with a unified approach to data management.

Moonwalk’s unique architecture provides for extensive scalability servicing the growth of the Hospital’s inpatient population. Moonwalk’s UK representative, Duncan Wright said the Moonwalk technology provides L&D with a framework for a continual improvement in data management.

“Moonwalk will deliver the capability to not only manage L&D’s datasets, but to understand how and when that data is used” says Wright. “Lesser used data can be migrated to inexpensive storage providing both improved cost efficiency and less bloated production systems”. The L&D rollout of Moonwalk is scheduled for January 2007. Moonwalk Universal develops software for heterogeneous Information Lifecycle Management. Moonwalk can be applied to a variety of operations including Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM), Archiving, Disaster Recovery and structured File Management.
