Technology continues to transform the world around us at an ever-increasing pace. We use it to accomplish business outcomes faster and more efficiently than ever before. Work is no longer a place. It’s what we do, from anywhere, at any time, with any device. Hybrid-cloud solutions are powering this better way to work for millions of people every day.
Citrix, HPE and NVIDIA are market leaders in their respective spaces with joint solutions across all major verticals. One particular vertical has historically been a key focus area for these three organizations and, in recent times, has been pushed to the limit: healthcare. Healthcare professionals continue to work through the COVID-19 pandemic in addition to caring for patients with other conditions. Thank you to the millions of healthcare professionals worldwide for all they’re doing during these challenging times.
Now more than ever, doctors, nurses, and other clinical staff need access to their apps and data to maximize patient care. HPE recently validated the following healthcare-focused solution in a comprehensive reference architecture containing these key components:
• HPE Synergy Platform: Composable infrastructure for compute, storage, and network
• HPE 3PAR Storage: Enterprise-class, all-flash storage array to host medical apps and data
• Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service: On-demand app and desktop delivery platform
• Citrix Content Collaboration: Secure file sharing and collaboration including workflows
• NVIDIA T4 GPU: High-quality visual imagery for medical scans
Healthcare professionals access their apps, desktops and data from any device (thin client, laptop, tablet, and more) or location (exam room, office, home, or elsewhere). OS images are provisioned using Citrix Machine Creation Services disk-based technology on HPE 3PAR storage. Hosting servers are composed on HPE Synergy infrastructure with some leveraging NVIDIA GPU profiles as required for graphics-acceleration. The delivery infrastructure is seamlessly managed using Citrix Cloud and the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service, along with Citrix Content Collaboration. Resources remain on premises for maximum performance, security, and compliance while a cloud-based management plane greatly simplifies administration. It’s true hybrid cloud realized.
For healthcare organizations looking to build a proven, flexible, and highly-capable virtual app and desktop delivery solution, have a look at this new reference architecture: HPE Reference Architecture for Client Virtualization in Healthcare on HPE Synergy Composable Infrastructure.
The new reference architecture includes not only the blueprint to deploy such a solution, but also tips, best practices, and full LoginVSI test results customized with a medical app workload.
Healthcare workers deserve a great user experience with their apps and data so they can focus on providing world-class patient care. This joint solution from Citrix, HPE, and NVIDIA delivers.
