In this interview style presentation, Karl Strohmeyer, North America Group Vice President and Maggie Chan Jones, Senior Vice President of North America Marketing will discuss the increasingly important role of the network in today’s distributed data center and cloud environments and how an organization’s network infrastructure can impact end to end application performance. Healthcare organizations are facing exponential data and application growth and increasingly complex access requirements driven in part by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Healthcare IT staffs are responsible for delivering mission-critical applications to all end users and in a fast, secure, scalable and cost efficient manner. IT teams need to configure their networks and communications strategies to deliver optimal performance for each application and cloud solutions for PACS management, EHRs, mHealth and many other critical tools are becoming the most logical answer. With the ever-changing regulatory environment, rapid technology advancements, and mounting cost pressures investing in a secure, scalable and agile communications infrastructure has never been more important.
