Dell Works With Red Hat, Intel and VMware To Launch Center of Excellence for Hospitals Using Epic EHR Software
04 3월 2013 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
Dell has joined forces with Red Hat, Intel and VMware to open a
dedicated center where hospitals can test and deploy a new option
for running Epic Systems’ electronic health records (EHR) software
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The DRIVE (Dell, Red Hat,
Intel and VMware for Epic)
Center of Excellence is located near the EHR vendor’s Verona, Wis.,
headquarters.
Last year, Epic added Red Hat Enterprise Linux to its list of
target platforms. Until then, the software exclusively ran on AIX
and other UNIX servers. With the potential lower total cost of
ownership of running the software on Dell Intel x86 servers, this
combination could be a cost-effective option for hospitals.
At the DRIVE Center of Excellence, hospitals can test their
applications on a variety of Dell server and storage options, test
configurations for end-user computing, perform cross-functional
testing of other optimized solutions such as help desk services and
disaster recovery, and interact with all the primary third parties
involved in a Linux deployment.
A legacy of expertise
Dell and the other companies in this effort each have a strong
history in supporting open standards and migrating customers from
complex proprietary environments. In addition to hardware, Dell
provides a full range of professional services and support for
every stage of EHR deployment backed by technical and clinical
experts with deep expertise in working with a variety of EHR
vendors.
VMware vSphere® is the leading KLAS-rated x86 virtualization
platform in healthcare. vSphere provides hospitals with an industry
proven virtualization platform for delivering powerful solutions
from the point of care to the hospital’s datacenter.
Red Hat will provide hospitals with the premium support services
they need to meet the 24x7 demands placed on an EHR system. As the
world’s leading open source platform for enterprises, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux offers healthcare customers a standards-based,
cost-effective yet highly flexible and powerful solution.
St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center
More small- to mid-size hospitals are using Linux to run key
applications as they see the benefits of using open source versus
proprietary platforms, including cost savings and improved
interoperability.
St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center, a 431-bed hospital and
health system in Syracuse, N.Y., turned to the DRIVE team for help
in implementing Epic on Linux as part of a 16-month conversion of
the hospital’s EHR system. Working closely with both the hospital
and Epic, the companies are making the best use of St. Joseph’s
current infrastructure and resources to build a test and training
environment as well as preparing to deploy the full production
system. In addition to training and planning assistance, the
DRIVE team will provide ongoing support to fine-tune the system for
optimal performance.
“Using VMware and Red Hat Enterprise Linux to run Epic’s
database on Dell’s x86 servers will not only significantly reduce
hardware costs, but also will simplify our environment and allow
our IT staff to focus on delivering the best user experience for
our clinicians,” said Chris Snow, manager of IT systems
engineering for St. Joseph Hospital Health Center. “We are
confident that Dell and its partners have the deep experience
required for this type of complex implementation.”

“Dell has a long history with both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
in supporting complex EHR implementations with hardware and related
services and consulting,” said August Calhoun, Ph.D., vice
president and general manager of Dell Healthcare and Life
Sciences. “Through this alliance, we are poised to give
customers - especially mid-size hospitals - greater choice and
flexibility for meeting meaningful use requirements.”
“Red Hat has a long history of providing open source mission
critical IT Infrastructure environments to some of the largest
healthcare entities and software vendors worldwide,” said Mark
Enzweiler, vice president of Global Channels and Alliances, Red
Hat. “Our expertise and robust technology coupled with the
DRIVE Center of Excellence will provide Epic customers with
world-class support. Open source software also enables
organizations to enjoy a lower total cost of ownership, helping
offset potentially rising healthcare costs.”
“The new alternative of running Epic on Linux with the latest
generation of Intel x86 servers meets the needs of mission-critical
healthcare solutions,” said Rick Cnossen, worldwide director of
health IT for Intel. “The DRIVE Center of Excellence provides
hospitals with an efficient way to evaluate an open platform based
on industry standards, with ecosystem expertise available for
ongoing support.”
“The news today underscores VMware’s passion and commitment to
healthcare,” said Frank Nydam, healthcare CTO at VMware.
“This partnership demonstrates how meaningful collaboration and
technology can help transform the delivery of healthcare products
and services. We are proud that VMware vSphere® can provide Dell
and Epic with the performance and availability required to deliver
always-on patient care services.”
