Delivering "State of the Art" compute platform for Healthcare establishment
Objective:
Set up failsafe, hyper-converged IT Infrastructure and medical imaging storage system for a brand new hospital offering affordable healthcare.
Approach:
Implement HPE SimpliVity along with a flash-ready, shared MSA SAN Storage to host HIMS and PACS on separate servers, for a software-driven approach to simplify and automate IT
IT benefits:
Separate offering for HIMS and PACS systems
Ease of management with a VMware vCenter plugin
Zero RPO and faster restore of 1 Min/TB for failed VMs
All SSD solution for client HIMS systems for faster billing and reduced wait time
Backup included as part of the HPE SimpliVity solution
End to End solution from HPE for datacenter components including storage units
Accelerates IT responsiveness to meet the needs of clinicians
Enables Kingsway Hospital to handle ongoing growth of digitized medical data
Help assure patients of receiving a positive healthcare experience
Virtual, optimized environment for enhanced disaster recovery
Enabled access to data, in a faster, easier and more reliable manner
Ease of expansion with a scalable solution that facilitates future business growth
Lessons Learned
Given an opportunity to do this project again, I would rethink of quantifying of RAM and the number of cores fro the processors.
