Lakeland Regional Health Systems, operating three hospitals and many ambulatory care centres in Michigan, USA, is taking an innovative approach to deploying and managing their Windows applications, which includes using Epic Electronic Medical Recording (EMR) to improve service delivery and increase the productivity of their doctors, nurses, and staff.
In this live webinar, Douglas DeCamp, Senior Systems Engineer at Lakeland Health, will discuss how he was able to design and implement a simple, cost-effective, and scalable solution to deliver any application to any user, on any device. The webinar will cover:
- How to efficiently manage and scale Windows application management today - and 5 years into the future
- How Lakeland was able to do the entire project on a PC refresh budget
- The decision-making process that went into Lakeland's solution: Citrix XenDesktop, Gridstore, Microsoft Hyper-V, Imprivata, and Unidesk
- Best practices and lessons learned along the way
Gridstore’s HyperConverged Appliance (HCA) is purpose-built for the Microsoft Cloud-Inspired Data Centre. The HCA brings together compute, SAN and storage into a single system that offers all-flash bare-metal performance, efficient scaling, and scale-to-fit design that eliminates costly compute sprawl. Customers achieve a 10X performance increase with 75 per cent less infrastructure delivering 4X decrease in TCO. The Gridstore HyperConverged Appliance is an ideal platform for infrastructure refreshes and specific Windows workloads such as VDI, SQL Server, Dev/Test, Private Cloud and ROBO.
Gridstore’s HyperConverged Infrastructure supports Windows Azure Pack, enabling deployment of Private-Cloud-in-a-Box easily and cost-effectively. Azure Pack provides a multi-tenant, self-service private cloud interface that works with Windows Server and System Centre, to deliver self-service provisioning, easy movement of workloads to the cloud, and infrastructure management. Additionally, Gridstore’s integration with System Centre includes VMM for policy-based provisioning and orchestration of compute and storage resources at VM-level granularity.
