To keep life-saving research moving forward, NIH relies on secure, reliable systems – and a partner who can protect them from cyber threats and downtime.
The Challenge
As the world’s largest source of biomedical research funding, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) depends on robust, secure infrastructure to store and manage sensitive health data, run critical applications, and support the work of scientists across the globe. But that infrastructure is only as strong as the team behind it.
With cyber threats increasing and system demands constantly evolving, NIH needed a partner that could manage complex server environments, apply timely software updates, and ensure compliance with federal security frameworks – all while supporting ongoing research without disruption.
Our Solution
RELI Group provides full-spectrum hosting and storage services for NIH through expert oversight of its operating systems, databases and storage infrastructure. Our work spans the technical and strategic – from daily server management to long-term improvement and expansion projects.
We manage key systems, including Microsoft Windows environments and other operating platforms, ensuring they are properly patched, maintained, and protected from threats like ransomware and server breaches. Our engineers monitor system performance and security around the clock, keeping services stable and responsive. At the same time, our project managers lead modernization efforts that keep NIH’s digital backbone aligned with its growing needs.
Security is at the core of everything we do. We ensure all systems are fully compliant with federal regulations, safeguarding decades of health research and sensitive patient data. By preventing breaches and maintaining data integrity, we help NIH researchers continue their mission without interruption or risk.
Real Impact
RELI’s work helps keep NIH’s research mission running, supporting access to critical data, enabling life-saving studies, and protecting the systems that drive American medical innovation. Behind every breakthrough is a system that works – and a team that makes sure it stays that way.
Without these services, a simple disruption could cascade into data loss, research delays or worse – malicious access to decades of confidential health information. But with RELI’s support, NIH remains a global leader in medical discovery, backed by secure, high-performing infrastructure that the nation can count on.
