  • Transforming Healthcare Infrastructure Through Cloud & Virtualization Solutions Aug 7 2013 4:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Healthcare providers have focused much of their IT investments in recent years on EMR implementations and meeting Meaningful Use requirements, but these are only the first in a long list of upcoming IT initiatives that healthcare providers must manage in the immediate future. With the shift towards Accountable Care Organizations and collaborative care models, supporting the transformation of care delivery requires the transformation of IT infrastructure. In this transformation, Frost & Sullivan believes that virtualization and cloud infrastructure will play key roles in the enablement of anytime, anywhere, always available access to clinical applications that is required to deliver quality care in the current and future healthcare environment.

    The explosion of data in healthcare and the need to rapidly and flexibly increase access to data stored across the continuum of care, combined with the need to reduce capital expenditures and IT headcount focused on data storage, make healthcare a market ripe for cloud solutions. Traditional hurdles remain in addressing concerns regarding data control and security, issues of crucial importance to healthcare stakeholders. New alignments of providers across organizations and the requirement to support mobility are pushing healthcare organizations toward desktop virtualization.

    Join us to discuss how these IT solutions are key to the transformation of healthcare delivery, and why the healthcare sector today is likely to reverse the trend of being late to the party in adopting new IT solutions.

  • Designing for Resilience and Security in Public Cloud Applications Recorded: Apr 17 2013 40 mins
    Public cloud providers offer better uptime and business continuity than most organisations can achieve on their own, despite well-publicised outages. But failing to plan for an outage, means you are planning to fail. At the center of this argument is the concept of designing for resilience: organisations should not hide from failure, but rather expose themselves to it early and often, in a way that allows them to learn quickly and build the right infrastructure to build reliability in an unreliable world.

    Join Paul Wallace, Director of Product at Riverbed Technology, as he discusses strategies that will help you design for resilience and security, and learn how to:

    * Prepare for unplanned cloud outages
    * Build a globally resilient cloud application
    * Avoid some of the most common mistakes when faced with a cloud outage
