Transforming Healthcare with HPE GreenLake Architecture
Many healthcare organizations today face a similar suite of IT challenges. For starters, their IT team is already stretched to the max in terms of both bandwidth and budget. Even the thought of any kind of major IT upgrade inspires a capital-size headache. Who can realistically keep up with provisioning and planning for multi-year capital outlays when they are in survival mode? Healthcare organizations have the added pressure of dealing with sophisticated and ever-evolving cybersecurity threats. Patients and providers expect cutting-edge, streamlined, seamless care.
Needless to say, it’s a lot. For today’s healthcare organizations looking for a better way, a hybrid cloud as a service solution such as HPE Greenlake offers centralization, modernization, and customization. It’s essentially a collaborative approach, with HPE and Comport as your partners and helping hands. It’s reinforcements where you need it. A chance to unload and offload some of the work while giving your apps and architecture a power boost.
Let’s dig into each of these three concepts and see how they can specifically benefit healthcare organizations.
Centralization
With HPE Greenlake architecture, you manage everything from a single dashboard. All your resources, costs, capacity, compliance–it’s all there. From a security standpoint, this centralization means you’ve got 100% coverage from edge-to-cloud. You can pull any disparate pieces and parts of your network infrastructure under one umbrella and apply policies across the board. Imagine the IT staff time you can save when you don’t have to implement changes piecemeal. As a deliberately hybrid approach, HPE Greenlake lets you keep all your on premise data and apps–while boosting performance with the speed, agility, ease, and computing power of the cloud.
Modernization
Artificial Intelligence (AI), high performance computing (HPC), and machine learning (ML) are the future of healthcare. Genome sequencing, personalized medicine, unwieldy amounts of data in EMR systems, real-time imaging diagnostics, and drug development are some of the healthcare processes that have already been transformed by HPC-powered AI. High quality healthcare requires the ability to deal with large amounts of data at speed and at all times. It is unreasonable to think that a healthcare organization can keep up with all this by developing all the necessary tools, data management, and apps all while constantly maintaining, updating and upgrading the kind of hardware infrastructure you’d need to do all this in-house. Why struggle with a herculean amount of work and an even larger amount of hardware investments? Keep what you have, boosted and supplemented by what you need from your cloud services. With HPE Greenlake architecture, the updating is essentially automatic.
Customization
With a pay-per-use model, HPE Greenlake as a service offers economy and eliminates the large-scale capital costs and provisioning quandary. HPE’s consumption analytics meter and monitor usage so, like any other utility, you only pay for what you use. Your architecture can be scaled up and down as needs and capacities shift. As compliance or performance needs change, add services on-demand. HPE Greenlake’s suite of tools and apps are at your disposal and can be added and configured to suit your needs. You also have access to HPE Greenlake’s preconfigured solutions that can be delivered in as little as 14 days.
So what does all this customization, modernization, and centralization look like in practice? What does your ROI look like with HPE Greenlake? You can expect major increases in IT staff productivity (by reducing the support load on the IT team), fewer outages, major savings, and shorter deployment times. Check out the stats. More importantly with healthcare operations, this all translates into improved results for caregivers, higher quality services and overall improvements in patient experience. At the end of the day, that’s what matters most: patient care and a staff that is able to provide that care without wrangling with frustrating tech.
At Comport, we are here to listen to your frustrations and challenges, analyze what we see in your infrastructure, and then work with you to create a plan that will ease those pressure and pain points. If you are looking to future-proof your IT strategy, eliminate your need for upfront IT capital outlays, or looking for a more robust solution to handle ransomware attacks, HPE Greenlake may be an ideal solution for your organization.
