VMware vSphere Creates A Virtual Platform That Brings Performance Gains And Increased Stability To Mission-Critical Healthcare Applications
“Virtualizing our entire Allscripts deployment with VMware vSphere was one of the best moves we could’ve made, from a performance standpoint, from an ROI standpoint, and from an ease of administration standpoint.”
Overlake Hospital Medical Center
Overlake’s data center was old and in rough shape, with significant air-conditioning issues and even water leaks. Wolfgram used the data-center migration and upgrade as an opportunity to accelerate the hospital’s transition to virtualization
“Many of the users experienced a big increase in performance because their desktop workstations were so old—so a lot of administrative users are really happy with the virtual desktops. The other big satisfier is that the desktop is now available to them just like in the office wherever they are.”
Palo Alto Medical Foundation
VMware Professional Services and ISV Alliance teams help a healthcare technology leader virtualize to control datacenter growth, deliver $3+ million ROI in just 3 years, and deliver High Availability in Tier 1 clinical applications—without missing a beat.
“Application vendors understand that this has become a standard for datacenters and it’s in their best interests if they want to stay competitive to support virtualization.”
Peninsula Regional Medical Center
Peninsula Regional Medical Center Achieves IT Innovation Through VMware Virtualization
“With VMware virtualization, we have better uptime, and our infrastructure is easier to maintain. And adopting a ‘virtualization first’ policy has allowed us to avoid having to expand our datacenter—an expansion that would have cost an unimaginable amount of money that we’d rather invest in our clinical systems and facilities.”
Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital
See how Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital reduced costs, improved efficiency and boosted patient care by implementing a VMware View virtualized desktop environment.
“Considering the benefits of VMware View—the efficiency, the ease of management, and the way it allows us to improve standards of care—there is no reason why any hospital should not be virtualizing its desktops.”
Prairie North Health Region
With Virtualization, Prairie North IT Delivers Cost Savings, Improved Services
“As Canada’s health regions seek to improve patient care while also controlling costs, virtualization technology is emerging as a critical IT strategy. Here at Prairie North, we’ve proven that VMware vSphere virtualization for servers, and now VMware View virtualization for desktops, can form the basis of a best-practices model to support a standardized and manageable IT infrastructure that is less costly to maintain, and improves the delivery of IT services to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff.”

Use vSphere And VMware View As The Foundation For Two Internal Cloud Environments—One For Servers, The Other For PCs And Thin Clients—That Save Money, Time, Power, And Above All, Improve Patient Care
“VMware technology is one of the major ways that we’re achieving the cloud and the whole shared-services model. It lets us not only deliver IT service to clinicians and business units effectively and economically, but, as we mature in our cloud environment, we can potentially offer our services to other healthcare providers and hospitals.”
Sunrise Senior Living
VMware Helps Sunrise Senior Living Reduce Service Desk Call Center Volume By More Than 50 Percent
“Since virtualizing Citrix, our service desk call volume has decreased by over 50 percent, from about 13,000 calls per month to 6,000. VMware virtualization was instrumental in driving down the number of issues we get on a daily basis and, therefore, the number of calls.”
Sydney Adventist Hospital
Sydney Adventist Hospital is the largest single-campus private hospital in New South Wales. With the healthcare industry recognising client Electronic Medical Records (EMR) as a cornerstone of reforms, this hospital decided to review how it delivered systems and applications in a clinical environment. By deploying systems based on VMware Horizon View, the hospital has streamlined patient care and boosted the productivity and performance of its medical practitioners. In only two months, this leading Sydney specialist hospital transformed its processes from paper-based to paperless. In this case study and videos, a range of people, from the Head of IS to clinicians, talk about how VMware’s solutions have revolutionised the way the hospital runs. The benefits of access anywhere on any device became rapidly clear to everyone, and now the staff have full access to all patient data concurrently, and from any location and device.
Vancouver Coastal Health
VMware Enabled A Majority Of VCH’s Environment To Take Advantage Of A 30:1 Server Consolidation Ratio That Offered Significant Power Savings, Reduced Data Centre Footprint And Improved Business Continuity Ability While Offering Environmental Benefits
“The rapid growth of Vancouver Coastal Health challenged the power and space capacity of our data centre. We calculated that virtualization prevented an infrastructure upgrade cost of >$2 million, brought about significant power savings, and minimalized hardware costs and data centre footprint.”
ASVZ
ASVZ heeft een grote groep ambulante medewerkers die bij de cliënt thuis toegang tot de applicaties moeten hebben, maar ook artsen die overal toegang tot de gegevens van cliënten moeten hebben. Dankzij desktopvirtualisatie van VMware met tweeweg-authenticatie hebben medewerkers overal toegang tot hun virtuele desktop. Hiermee heeft ASVZ het "any place, any time" en bijna "any device" gerealiseerd.
"Samen met onze partner hebben we binnen tien weken een productierijpe virtuele desktop omgeving opgezet. We hebben een zogenaamde ‘golden image’ ontwikkeld voor distributie en authenticatie. Hierdoor hebben medewerkers via hun desktop snel en veilig toegang tot de applicaties die zij voor hun werk nodig hebben."
Carante Groep
Carante Groep wilde haar serveromgeving vernieuwen en beheerinspanningen en hardwarekosten terugdringen. Daarnaast moest de organisatie voldoen aan de NEN-7510 normering voor informatiebeveiliging in de zorg. Om de beschikbaarheid, integriteit en vertrouwelijkheid van cliëntgegevens te garanderen, moest Carante overstappen van groepsaccounts op persoonlijke accounts. Op basis van VMware vSphere virtualiseerde Carante Groep vrijwel alle servers. Na een succesvol pilotproject werd bovendien een gevirtualiseerde desktopomgeving op basis van VMware View geïmplementeerd.
“Binnen onze VMware-omgeving gebeurt het beheer nu volledig centraal. Met templates kunnen we snel servers inrichten en bij calamiteiten zijn systemen weer snel in de lucht. We zien een grote meerwaarde voor de beschikbaarheid en betrouwbaarheid van onze services.Bovendien is het energieverbruik in het datacenter aanzienlijkafgenomen.”
CHDR
Met VMware vSphere is het gehele serverpark van het CHDR gevirtualiseerd. Bovendien loopt er een pilotproject voor virtualisatie van de desktopomgeving op basis van VMware View.
“Met de server- en desktopvirtualisatie van VMware hebben we een goed fundament voor de toekomst gelegd. We kunnen onze groeiambities nu optimaal ondersteunen, zonder uitbreiding van de beheercapaciteit. Daarmee zijn de belangrijkste doelstellingen voor de modernisering van onze ICTomgeving door VMware ingevuld.”
UZ Leuven
VMware vSphere 4.0 zorgt voor een ononderbroken beschikbaarheid van IT applicaties, e!ciënt IT beheer, energie- en kostenbesparing en tijdwinst.
“Wellicht zijn er vandaag goedkopere alternatieven op de markt, maar VMware hoort nog altijd bij de koplopers op het vlak van virtualisatie en biedt een aantal functionaliteiten aan die andere aanbieders niet hebben. We zijn dan ook heel tevreden over onze keuze voor VMware.”
