“Since January 2021, Rackspace has been a leading contributor in the European Open Science Cloud marketplace. Through the OCRE framework, Rackspace has provided AWS cloud services to research institutions, universities, and NREN members across Europe, aiming to boost cloud adoption and refine the tools available to the education and research communities,” said Donald Dunsmore, Director, Education and Research Sales (OCRE). “With this powerful collaboration, Insight leverages AWS to expedite and streamline diagnosis, and Rackspace supports our customers from grant funding requests down to project completion.”

The Virtual Aorta is spearheading advancements in diagnostics and the development of new treatments for aortic disease. Historically, Universities are slow to use AI and the cloud to enhance their research; therefore, the work Insight is doing with the University of Galway is setting a standard for the rest of the industry. The success they are seeing with improved diagnostic times and data handling is encouraging other research institutes to go to the cloud. Rackspace’s ability to shed more light on this project only helps further technology in research institutes. All of which leads to more significant advancements in diagnostics and care.
