This document discusses cloud computing and infrastructure as a service (IAAS) for healthcare. It begins with an agenda and overview of cloud computing stacks. It then discusses the promise of IAAS to allow any application to run without needing dedicated IT staff. A case study is presented of a medical imaging company that implemented a private cloud IAAS solution on a private network to streamline operations across locations and eliminate manual data entry and dedicated IT staff. The solution improved patient experience and reporting times while protecting sensitive data. A proof of concept lab is suggested to de-risk projects and test connectivity variables before full implementation.

Provision
We believe most Healthcare applications are candidates
to move to a Private Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service
without changing anything

7. Private Cloud IAAS – What we see
Drivers of Infrastructure-as-a-Cloud
Upcoming server refresh
Infrastructure management challenges
Concerns around resiliency
CAPEX constraints
Power issues
New application deployment

Business Requirements
Streamline the patient processing procedure across all
locations
Remove manual data entry
Connect all locations with a high speed data network
Eliminate the requirement for dedicated IT staff in Ireland
Absolute Requirements
Protect highly sensitive patient information
Eliminate bandwidth congestion between site and
cloud
Less than 10 second reporting time… preferably less
than 5
Address the growing hosting costs from an
exponential growth in digital content

Strencom Solution
Private Cloud solution
on a private data network
Data is in the same location at all times
Proof of Concept (PoC)
Multiple Connectivity types from Private ADSL to Fibre
Ethernet.
Purchase the variables as required, not all upfront
