Healthcare Needs the Cloud – Today

Under pressure to meet the rising digital expectations of practitioners and patients,
healthcare CIOs and CTOs know the cloud can offer the flexibility, scalability and
efficiencies they require. Yet unlike other IT executives, those in healthcare face strict
requirements related to patient privacy and data protection, leaving them wondering how
to get from here to there – how to transform their infrastructure and keep data secure.

What's needed is a private cloud enabled by software-defined networking (SDN) that meets
the unique and challenging requirements of the healthcare sector. This kind of private cloud
can support development and roll into operations, integrate a disparate range of devices
and gear and ensure rock-solid security.
