Executive OverviewIt might be tempting to assume IT departments in healthcare industry organizations would be cautious
and conservative in their approach to datacenter infrastructure. In reality, they can’t afford to be.
Healthcare IT management requires highly efficient, highly responsive infrastructure that can nimbly
handle huge (and growing) amounts of data. How are companies positioning themselves to handle the
task?
This survey asks respondents to report:
▶ What is their current cloud strategy – public or private cloud, a mix, or none? What workloads do they run in the cloud?
▶ What Electronic Medical Record (EMR) do they use?
▶ What do they think about Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)?
▶ What major IT projects are they undertaking within the next 18 months?
