Data Center Provisioning
Today's Healthcare Data Center requires the performance and agility to respond in real-time to the increasing demands of advanced clinical software applications and stricter compliance requirements. To deliver the IT service levels that drive clinical transformation, new tools and disciplines must be implemented to ease technology management while advancing towards the vision of a zero downtime data center.
IT Resource Management: Utility Computing
Classically, technology infrastructure investments in Healthcare are made in a stepwise function. Server and storage technology is deployed in advance to meet the projected needs of an applications suite over a known time period. This strategy, while usually effective in meeting the goals of project-based deployments, often introduces management challenges when scalability projections are significantly exceeded. Managers must choose between ex-budget purchases or operationally-intensive "babysitting" of inadequate IT infrastructure. JJWild's vision is to assist our customers in migrating towards a utility computing paradigm. Utility Computing uses industry-standard servers, storage, networking, security, and management tools deployed in a framework which allows IT Managers to easily allocate IT resources to application requirements with minimal waste and minimal downtime. This strategy maximizes the use of each IT investment, allows for planned incremental investments in new technology, and frees IT resources to focus on applications service delivery levels.
Server Provisioning: Physical and Virtual Machines
As open-systems server technology matures, the focus has shifted from speeds and feeds to effective technology management. As MEDITECH's key technology partner, JJWild continues to work together with MEDITECH's system group and their server partners: Dell, HP, IBM and Stratus, to select, test, and certify the most reliable servers for your healthcare information systems. The goal is always to provide a broad range of quality choices within a framework that is tested, certified, and proven to exceed the technical requirements of MEDITECH's most demanding applications. In addition, JJWild is taking a leading role in developing system profiles, laboratory and field test regimens, and best practices for the implementation of server virtualization for MEDITECH and the enterprise. Using industry-leading tools from VMWare and other providers, JJWild's technology consultants and engineers are strongly positioned to help our customers improve utilization, availability, and management of their server resources while maintaining the performance levels required by today's healthcare applications.
SAN Design, Implementation, and Support
With SAN technology, IT groups can deliver vital storage to applications and departments, improving fault tolerance while reducing management and recovery costs through centralization of storage assets. Today's SAN strategies recognize the fundamental importance of data to your enterprise, and that providing and safeguarding storage pools and storage bandwidth is a central mission of IT. This is true for any business, but especially in healthcare where critical patient data is being increasingly digitized for safety and access.
With Integrated Serverless Backup (ISB) and Integrated Disaster Recovery (IDR), MEDITECH has taken a leading role in the HCIS industry in innovating the utilization of SAN Point-In-Time Copies (PIT-C's) for backup, operational recovery, and disaster recovery. As MEDITECH's premier technology partner, JJWild has worked closely with BridgeHead Software, EMC, HP, and IBM in the testing and certification of six SAN families and two backup software selections with ISB and IDR. This active investment positions JJWild to provide each customer with a storage environment that can meet their availability and recovery goals within the constraints of their budget and operating realities.
JJWild's technology consultants, designers, and engineers understand storage from a healthcare perspective. We can help assess your requirements and evaluate available technology choices. We can also design comprehensive SAN solutions and manage the process of acquiring, installing, and implementing the technology you need
Information Lifecycle Management
Nearly 70% of the data stored in a typical HCIS is never accessed again, yet burgeoning growth of clinical, demographic, and image data challenge the industry's ability to manage this critical asset. JJWild is working with MEDITECH and industry leaders in storage and storage management to bring healthcare-focused Information Lifecycle Management solutions to our customers.
These solutions begin with helping you envision, develop, or edit your corporate data management policies. Then we work with you to assess your organizations unique information management needs. Many of the solutions we offer can leverage your existing storage assets through the intelligent addition of storage and archive management tools. Where necessary, we can offer a selection of appropriate tiered storage to right-size and streamline your organizations information management costs. These solutions reduce the strain on critical live systems by putting the right data, in the right place, at the right cost, in the right timeframe. JJWild's offerings are specifically designed to effectively complement MEDITECH's Scanning and Archiving module, while also offering extensibility to enterprise systems like, PACS, file servers, and e-mail.
Data Repository
A data repository can be a powerful tool, allowing you to mine MEDITECH HCIS data for key trends in business parameters, community wellness, or provider activities. Working closely with MEDITECH, JJWild designs and delivers platform and storage technologies that complement this valuable solution and provide scalability to expand and protect your key relational data.
