Infrastructure

Your infrastructure must keep pace with volumes of digital patient data and escalating high-bandwidth communication traffic over your network, both centrally and remotely. Your organizations accelerating reliance on technology to support the highest quality patient care means there is zero tolerance for data system failure. It is crucial to have a comprehensive business continuity plan to protect your infrastructure and data from disruptive events and provide the tools to help you recover quickly and easily.

Do More with Less

CDW Healthcare has the knowledge and experience to help you optimize your investment in upgrading your existing infrastructure to support burgeoning demand and additional applications such as EMR, CPOE, multidepartmental PACS, VoIP, SSO and many others. CDW Healthcare can help fortify your I.T. infrastructure by:

• Evaluating your server, storage and wireless network solutions to ensure they are substantial, scalable and secure enough to address your Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) requirements — now and in the future.
• Reviewing the potential for server consolidation and virtualization to conserve data center space, costs and resources that can be better allocated elsewhere in your healthcare organization.
• Safeguarding sensitive patient data with security management tools that detect and prevent intrusions, from antivirus (AV ) software, virtual private networks (VPN), network intrusion detection systems (IDS) and personal firewalls to antispam, SSO and more.
• Recommending a disaster recovery strategy that helps ensure business continuity by utilizing the best mix of I.T. solutions and managed data services to provide for true data resiliency, better accounting for fail-over, data variability and redundancy, and improved uptime.
• Offering cost-effective convergence technology options to upgrade your traditional telecommunications system to a Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system.

Go Virtual:

CDW Healthcare’s server virtualization solutions can simplify your I.T. architecture and optimize server performance, helping you lower TCO, support business continuity and conserve space and power for additional cost savings.

Single Sign-on (SSO):

CDW Healthcare provides technology that enables single sign-on (SSO) to keep your patient records private, secure and protected from unrestricted access.

Convergence:

CDW Healthcare can help you save money through technological convergence, which allows separate technologies to share resources and interact with each other to create new efficiencies.
