Healthcare
Over the past few decades, information technologies (IT) have
transformed the healthcare industry. Evolutionary phases of
network computing have introduced protocols and capabilities
supporting new processes, business models, and medical advances.
Most organizations have deployed best-of-breed solutions to meet
departmental or facility business requirements. Today however,
many organizations struggle with complex IT environments that
offer varying levels of data integration, performance,
scalability, and security. As it becomes more critical to
rapidly deploy scalable, highly available Web-based systems,
healthcare organizations are faced with replacing legacy
technologies or finding effective ways to securely connect them
across the enterprise.
