SCHOLARSHIP, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATION
Empowering Research at the Center for Military Medicine Research
Researchers at the Center for Military Medicine Research and the School of Medicine drive groundbreaking medical advancements. To support their research with the Department of Defense, Pitt IT customized Azure Virtual Desktop pools and enterprise storage solutions to meet stringent security and connectivity requirements.
Powering Secure Research
Pitt IT provides high-performance computing (HPC) resources with rigorous security standards. Researchers from the Department of Pharmacy and Therapeutics will be the first to take advantage of a custom HPC cluster, where work is performed in a secure, controlled environment. At the School of Medicine’s Vascular Medicine Institute, data is now being moved to a protected HPC and storage environment to support high performance computing against HIPPA and other protected data. Demand for the protected data HPC cluster is expected to grow as it is introduced to the broader research community.
WELCOMING AND ENGAGED
Enhancing Vaccine Scheduling
Pitt IT improved the Vaccination & Health Connection Hub online scheduling process, billing for travel vaccinations, QR code scanning, COVID immunization options, and added A1C testing.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRUST
Enhancing Connections for Pitt Employees in UPMC Buildings
Network and security control challenges complicate system access for Pitt researchers working in UPMC facilities. Pitt IT improved workflow by upgrading network connectivity from 10 GB to 100 GB at nearly two dozen UPMC locations. The upgraded speeds will enhance efficiency and support collaboration.
