August 31, 2015Data center management is a fact of life in healthcare information technology. Unfortunately, it's becoming more complicated, thanks to the continued digitization of medical records, a rise in the use of high-grade medical imagery, and the extended reach of many healthcare organizations across multiple hospital sites, clinics, and physician offices.

June 16, 2015The “cloud” is no longer an enterprise aspiration, but a reality. Unfortunately, reality is messy. The adoption of cloud services, including fundamental storage and compute functions as well as software-as-a-service applications, has added significant complexity to the business of enterprise IT. There’s no one-size-fits-all type of deployment, and many companies have increasingly gravitated toward a mix of public and private cloud technologies.
