Empowering successful clinical outcomes with VDI and virtualized healthcare

HPE-VDI-GreenLake-Cloud-Services.jpgThe surge in demand for healthcare is challenging caregivers to help more patients in less time. Caregivers are racing to manage a growing population of patients in addition to endless streams of medical data.

Data access is crucial for quality patient care. It provides in-depth insight into histories, diagnoses, treatments, and other sensitive information that is vital to deliver the right care quickly and effectively. To accomplish this, caregivers must have the flexibility to collaborate and treat patients, wherever they areโ€”with the ability to quicky access, send, and receive patientsโ€™ personal health information (PHI) securely. With mobile workforces on the rise, the need for seamless, secure access has never been greater.

Increasing data volumes, the expansion of personalized medicine, and the spread of novel infectious diseases are quickly exceeding the capacity of outdated technologies. These trends place a huge burden on healthcare organizations that run on traditional infrastructure. Caregivers need an environment that is agile, flexible, and secure to enhance patient experiences and improve clinical outcomes.

Desktop virtualization technologies are transforming the way caregivers work, removing the constraints of traditional infrastructure. By implementing a virtual environment, caregivers can utilize applications and data remotely from a variety of desktops and devices. Virtual technologies streamline collaboration between disparate locationsโ€”such as physicianโ€™s offices, hospitals, and emergency rooms to hospice, research centers, and patients. These innovations are key to extend the reach of todayโ€™s caregivers and maximize their productivity.

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is the cornerstone of virtual environments. VDI offers secure and reliable access on remote devices, so caregivers can work within and between facilities. It transfers an image of the data to the remote device, bringing information to the fingertips of caregivers, while patientsโ€™ PHI remains safely in the data center. Because caregivers arenโ€™t carrying confidential data on a device that could be lost or tampered with, they have peace of mind to operate and care for patients wherever they are. As a result, caregivers gain real-time insight into medical data, so decisions can be made instantly.

Taking healthcare productivity to new heights

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and AMD are transforming healthcare with the next wave of VDI technologies. Our solutions combine robust HPE servers built on industry-leading AMD CPUs to provide high levels of agility, performance, and data security. Virtual environments built on HPE and AMD solutions optimize key healthcare workloads:

  • Ensuring reliable and secure access to patient records โ€“ Enabling clinical efficiencies that give caregivers the ability to aggregate, compare, and analyze huge volumes of patient data.
  • Protecting and mobilizing medical imaging data โ€“ Managing endless streams of medical data over a patientโ€™s life, due to increased demand and image fidelity.
  • Accelerating medical insights and scientific discovery โ€“ Searching the genomes of millions of people sequences around the world, in search of links between genetics and disease.

HPE ProLiant AMD-based servers are fast and reliable, establishing a resilient platform for virtualized healthcare. Powered by the latest generation of AMD EPYCโ„ข processors, these systems support a broad range of healthcare activities including daily tasks, like logging patient health histories or accessing electronic health records (EHRs), to the most demanding imaging and diagnostic workloads. The latest generation AMD EPYCโ„ข processors offer the highest levels of processing performance and memory bandwidth, scaling up to 64 cores to support an extensive remote network. These solutions support growth with more virtual machines per server and consolidate workloads and software licenses onto fewer servers to cut capital expenses and reduce the cost of deployment.

AMD Infinity Guard delivers an industry-leading set of modern security features that help decrease potential attack surfaces as software is booted and executed, and processes critical data without requiring changes to applications. A feature of AMD Infinity Guard, AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization provides an extra layer of security by encrypting data even while it is in use, so caregivers can operate on remote devices with confidence.

HPE offers a broad portfolio of technologies, expert services, and a rich partner ecosystem to help organizations meet escalating industry requirements.

Designed for Citrix and VMwareโ„ข environments, HPE ProLiant AMD-based servers allow organizations to quickly deploy and manage virtual environments. We make it easy to deliver and refresh desktops and applications, so caregivers can continue working and caring for patients. HPE Pointnext Services experts are available to help organizations select and optimize the right tools and applications, with deep technical knowledge and innovation to VDI innovation.

HPE also provides financing options to support unique requirements. HPE GreenLake offers VDI as a service, a pay-per-use consumption model with the security and control of on-premises IT. This gives healthcare organizations the choice of how they acquire and consume IT to ensure the greatest productivity and highest-quality patient care.

Preparing for the future of healthcare

VDI is revolutionizing patient care, helping organizations manage todayโ€™s health requirements and evolve for tomorrowโ€™s challenges. Organizations can build their ideal solutions with extreme compute power and the worldโ€™s highest-performing CPUs. These virtual technologies enable remote caregivers to operate faster and more intelligently, providing access to life-altering applications and data wherever they are.

Solutions from HPE and AMD are designed to help organizations accelerate medical insight to care for a growing population of patients.

We are committed to helping you empower successful clinical outcomes. Letโ€™s reinvent the way you work in healthcare.
