Data Gravity's Effect on Healthcare
Hear from our expert, Tony Bishop, SVP of Platform and Ecosystem Strategy, explain what data gravity is and why it should be considered in the healthcare industry's IT strategies.
Empowering Healthcare IT
Today's patients, providers, and caregivers call for greater mobility in healthcare.
Advances in technology, big data, and analytics enable healthcare providers to do more for their patients and employees through a data centre for healthcare. New technologies present new demands on infrastructure for data management, security, and storage. With global adoption for healthcare cloud services predicted to reach about $10 billion by 20201 and the average healthcare organisation already using 900+ different cloud-based services, healthcare organizations need ways to simplify things.
To get the most value out of data and meet regulatory overload, healthcare IT teams need to process in milliseconds to make faster decisions and take timely action.
As the most agile provider in the industry, we provide customers with the technology and expertise to solve some of their biggest IT challenges with secure, high-performance, interconnected data centre solutions that enable hybrid-cloud strategies that quickly extend digital capabilities.
