Presentation
topic: Virtualization for Healthcare:
Do more with less and be more responsive
Topic
overview:
Virtualization, Grid Computing and Distributed Storage: Are
they buzz words or can they bring value to your organization?
Healthcare
budgets are tighter now then anytime in recent history. At
the same time, more and more data is being created that it
is vital to the organization. How can IT departments handle
these two conflicting requirements? While virtualization may
not increase
your budget, it can improve data security, systems availability
and responsiveness. It can reduce hardware, power and cooling
expenses, and administrator workload.

The
second topic will be presented by Tim Chunn,
Director of Strategic Accounts at Bycast. Bycast is a leading
provider of software solutions to simplify the management
of massive fixed-content storage systems. IBM has partnered
with Bycast to bundle Bycast’s software into IBM’s
Grid Medical Archive Solution (GMAS.) GMAS is a cutting-edge
storage virtualization technology designed for medical
imaging. GMAS intelligently distributes and replicates
medical images to increase availability and response
time. The GMAS virtualization keeps images where they’re
needed most – cross campus or cross county. GMAS
saves money by eliminating the need for a separate storage
array for each and every imaging application. It scales
on demand to meet rapid growth of healthcare.
