Apr 25, 2008 : Hospital Building New Data Center
📅 - A Missouri hospital said this week that it will break ground next week on a $60 million project to build a 40,000 square-foot data center it expects to complete in 2010.
The Washington, Missouri based Sisters of Mercy Health System says the new facility will replace the hospital's existing data center in Sunset Hills. The organization says recent progress on the electronic health records initiative, a $500 million project to integrate information systems at all Mercy's hospitals, made it clear that the Sunset Hills facility needed to be upgraded.
Sisters of Mercy acquired nine acres in the Heidmann Industrial Park, say reports. The data center was designed by architecture and design firm Arcturis, and will be built by general contractors S.M. Wilson & Co.
The Sunset Hills facility will carry on as the main business operations site for the Mercy Information Services Division.
While the healthcare sector has considerable information needs, and is a large market for hosting services, it is unusual to see major data center projects being taken on by hospitals or health care companies themselves.
Last week, though, data center software company Apertture reported that the Vanderbilt University Medical Center had chosen Aperture's VISTA 500 solution to provide more visibility into the data center that it operates.
