Health Care
The Health Care field has many areas where virtualization can improve day to day operations. From the reduction of physical servers in the data center to providing high availability for the multitide of custom medical applications, virtualization solves many of the challenges of the medical community.
Deploying a virtual desktop infrastructure through thin clients will increase the efficiency of your medical staff and assist with HIPAA compliance issues. In a typical desktop and server environment, sensitive data passes from the data center to the end user desktop where it can be stored, saved to external media like USB flash drives, or printed and taken off site. These are all major disclosure risks. With thin client technology, only the display is forwarded to the end user. All data remains in the data center and you retain tight control over what is allowed to be printed. This greatly reduces the chance of a HIPAA disclosure. The hot-desking feature of thin clients allows doctors to move from one exam room to another, or even their office, and retain their desktop login state. They no longer need to log off and back on every time they change rooms. This increases efficiency and reduces work related fatigue. Hospitals and medical schools are quickly seeing the benefits of virtual desktops and thin client technology for both security and ease of management.
