关于客户
Doctors’ Center Hospitals (DCH) is a prominent healthcare conglomerate in Puerto Rico, known for delivering high-quality medical and surgical services. The organization operates four hospitals located in San Juan, Carolina, Manati, and Bayamon, along with two ambulatory clinics in Dorado and Arecibo. With a total of 692 beds, DCH serves a large patient base and employs over 1,500 IT users, including physicians and radiologists. The IT infrastructure is managed by Pedro Rios, the IT director, who oversees data center management, strategic planning, vendor relationships, technical support, financial monitoring, and disaster recovery planning. The IT team is responsible for ensuring that patient care information is delivered promptly and accurately to clinicians, utilizing the right technology to meet the needs of the healthcare facilities.
挑战
Doctors’ Center Hospitals faced significant IT challenges due to their reliance on an EMC direct-attached storage (DAS) solution. The existing infrastructure was becoming inadequate as the hospital network expanded, necessitating a centralized data center operation to simplify management for their small IT team. The addition of new applications at remote hospitals required increased bandwidth, which was costly in Puerto Rico, with monthly expenses exceeding $7,000. Despite increasing bandwidth from 20 MB to 50 MB, application performance, particularly for the MEDITECH EHR system, did not improve. The hospital needed a more efficient and cost-effective solution to enhance application performance and manage data centrally.
解决方案
Doctors’ Center Hospitals chose to implement the Nutanix Xtreme Computing Platform to address their IT challenges. After a successful virtual proof of concept, they purchased a Nutanix NX-3460 system to run their MEDITECH EHR system. The Nutanix platform, known for its high performance and cost-effectiveness, was selected over more expensive alternatives like Cisco UCS and EMC storage. The implementation included deploying VMware Horizon View virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) at three sites, enabling centralized and secure storage of patient records. The compact 2U Nutanix systems fit well within the limited infrastructure space, reducing the data center footprint from eight rack units to four, resulting in significant savings on power, facilities costs, and labor. The Nutanix Prism management console simplified administration, providing a single interface for monitoring infrastructure status and usage analytics.
运营影响
  • The implementation of Nutanix systems enabled Doctors’ Center Hospitals to launch new IT initiatives, including a desktop mobility pilot providing notebooks or tablets to physicians.
  • The Nutanix platform facilitated the deployment of MEDITECH EMR on VDI, enhancing application virtualization and compliance with HIPAA regulations.
  • The centralized storage and management of patient records improved data security and compliance, meeting the stringent requirements of the healthcare industry.
  • The Nutanix systems provided excellent performance for virtual applications, eliminating the need for costly bandwidth increases between hospital sites.
  • The ease of administration with Nutanix Prism management console allowed for efficient monitoring and management of the IT infrastructure, reducing the need for external support.
数量效益
  • Obtained a high-performance solution at 1/3 the cost of Cisco/EMC.
  • Reduced datacenter footprint from 8U to 4U, saving on power and facilities costs.
  • Decreased latencies for MEDITECH EHR system to below 3-5 milliseconds.
