When the mission holds lives in the balance, the network is Brocade.
Brocade networks enable health care organizations to deliver reliable and accessible care to their patients while increasing operational efficiency and reducing costs.
Delivering the highest level of reliability and availability is critical for the “always on” communications infrastructures of today. Health care networks must support wired and wireless devices to deliver seamless patient care. Additionally, strong network security is critical for protecting patient records and preventing unauthorized access to data.
As a result, one of the key challenges for health care organizations is scaling their network infrastructures without increasing management complexity and cost.
Brocade network solutions are designed to handle massive surges in data growth — in both wired and wireless networks, from core data centers to remote branch offices. These solutions are purpose-built to support today’s requirements and provide a strong foundation for continued growth.
In the netherlands, there’s a political discussion about the privacy of storing patient data in the cloud, making it accesible to doctors all over the country. The performance and stability of such a system is considered technical and of later importance.
Niels,
Is this a private cloud or public cloud initiative? For the public cloud, I am assuming that Privacy is a big concern.
