SMB Private Cloud for Healthcare: Secure, Fast, Compliant

Access Electronic Medical Records with SMB Private Cloud

Healthcare institutions, like many others, have to do more with less. How can they lower desktop support costs, lower unplanned desktop outages since these are critical in a 24×7 setting, and ease the transition to Electronic Medical Records (EMR)?

SMB Private Cloud helps you address these issues and do more with less:

• Ease transition to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems.   As more healthcare institutions are considering EMR systems, a key factor to think about is the system performance. EMR systems frequently create a significant amount of network traffic between the EMR server and the endpoints as they regularly refresh patient data. With traditional PCs, this chatter runs over the network, which can lead to slow performance and high bandwidth costs. With SMB Private Cloud, you avoid this by running the desktop servers in the same location as the EMR servers and securely accessing the desktops from anywhere via thin-clients or repurposed PCs. This minimizes network chatter, bandwidth costs, and greatly improves performance.

• Security and Compliance. With SMB Private Cloud, since no data is stored at the end-point, it is inherently more secure than traditional PCs. Compliant access is ensured since desktops are served based on the access rights a user has, and using SMB Private Cloud’s audit logs for compliance tracking.

• Reduce desktop support and management by over 80%.  Most healthcare facilities have limited IT resources. SMB Private Cloud is easy to setup and manage and requires no re-training. And, virtual desktops cut down desktop support and management costs. If a desktop misbehaves, simply regenerate a new pristine desktop. To update and patch desktops, simply update the master image and all the desktops get the latest changes. Our healthcare customers report an average of 88% reduction in desktop maintenance and support costs with SMB Private Cloud.

• Reduce unplanned desktop downtime.   In a 24×7 operation, unplanned downtime can be costly and life-threatening. With built-in high-availability, SMB Private Cloud eliminates unplanned downtime due to server failures. If a user desktop misbehaves, simply regenerate a pristine desktop from SMB Private Cloud. These reduce unplanned downtime — our healthcare customers report seeing no unplanned downtime since moving to SMB Private Cloud.
• “Follow-me” secure access from anywhere  Doctors and hospital staff can move from room to room or even to a remote clinic, and securely re-access their desktop and patient records just the way they left them.
