If the worldwide health system is not in crisis, it is under intense pressure and cost cutting trends in the light of the global downturn are only set to continue. For most hospitals and medical establishments budget allocations for IT were expected to be smaller in 2009 than in 2008. 

Check out this case study to learn how beyond ease of use, a smaller physical footprint, and lower total cost of ownership – this health enterprise was able to reduce their backup window by 2 hours and achieve deduplication ratios of 24:1 on their data-dense, 13-terabyte Oracle database. 

Intel Corporation is simplifying the data center even more by introducing a free new technology that enables all data center traffic to run over a single cable using the Intel 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) Server Adapter X520 family. 

GE Centricity EDI, part of GE Healthcare IT’s Centricity portfolio, leverages technology to help healthcare providers improve patient care, streamline operations, trim revenue cycles and improve cash flows. Processes that were once handled manually are automated and can be performed around the clock.  Read this case study to learn more. 

Medical imaging is achieving phenomenal growth. This advance in patient care comes at a cost - a data explosion and resulting silos of clinical information that threaten to overwhelm your data center. With the Unified Clinical Archive, you can store, access, and share medical files from all your medical imaging applications. 

Scottsdale Medical Imaging has standardized on HP products wherever possible—from business desktop PCs to the servers that support administrative operations and redundant storage arrays that store the vast library of medical images.  Download this case study for additional details on their objective, approach, IT improvements and business benefits. 

As medical imaging evolves in the digital era, images must be delivered through a single information network and be easily accessible. Current methods of managing images are proving increasingly inefficient and costly.  Read about a platform that addresses these concerns and provides simplified and accelerated access to medical files and images. 

Using two of the Intel SS4000-E storage servers mirrored for additional redundancy, Philips has cut about USD 10 thousand off the storage cost for more than one terabyte of data by eliminating the need to buy expensive optical disks. 

Gwinnett Medical Center uses the HP storage area network (SAN) to support almost all of its critical clinical and enterprise management applications. Learn how the SAN supports the hospital system’s full range of McKesson applications, including EHR, pharmacy, physician portal, surgical management, PACS and radiology operations. 

In this report Ovum calls for a rethink of the traditional IT technology stack, to ensure better interoperability and adaptability. 

The impact of health care legislation, including ARRA and the HITECH Act, will accelerate spending on health IT and clinical applications – leading to an increased need for storage. Inside this white paper, learn how a converged medical infrastructure can help store extensive patient data in a secure, efficient manner. 

This paper outlines the differences in features between ESX and ESXi and the architectural differences. It also discusses methods to manage both and how to modify existing scripts. 

Today’s health care organizations face a growing list of challenges. And as the volume of patient data continues to explode, they need imaging solutions that streamline management and help control health care delivery costs.
