Marketwired
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization and
cloud infrastructure, today announced that its solutions will
underpin a new approach to delivering cloud-based collaborative
patient care from Peake Healthcare Innovations, a joint venture of
Harris Corporation and Johns Hopkins Medicine. Peake is working
with VMware and Intel Corporation to provide a secure cloud
platform for the management and delivery of enterprise medical
imaging to any health care facility by enabling physicians and
other health care personnel to quickly and securely access medical
images from a variety of end-user devices.
"The medical imaging cloud is an ideal application for
virtualization and cloud infrastructure technology because it can
improve the quality of patient care by enabling physicians to
review patient images in a collaborative, secure environment," said
Frank Nydam, senior director, Healthcare, VMware. "We are pleased
to be working with Peake Healthcare Innovations to bring to market
an innovative offering that can transform the quality and delivery
of patient care, along with the ability to lower costs."
Intel technology will help support the Peake cloud solution and
enable visualization of medical imaging. Intel and VMware have
collaborated closely on the architectural enhancements in the
Intel® Xeon™ processor and software optimization in VMware vSphere®
to boost performance intelligently, increase consolidation ratios
and enable servers of different generations to be easily managed
from the same pool of infrastructure resources. In addition,
desktop virtualization via VMware View™ enables doctors and other
healthcare personnel to access and collaborate on high-resolution
medical images required by medical personnel due to its ability to
deliver fully lossless images. Healthcare IT based on Intel and
VMware innovation enables organizations of all types to provide
high quality, accessible, and economical products and services.
"Intel's technology is enabling cloud-computing usage models
that synergize compute power, performance, and protection to help
health care organizations control costs and meet stringent security
and compliance requirements. We are excited about the opportunity
to work with Peake Healthcare Innovations to bring this new
collaborative medical imaging cloud to market," said Rick Cnossen,
Worldwide Director of Health IT, Intel.
Federated Image Archive to Connect Teams Within
and Between Enterprises
Peake Healthcare Innovations will move enterprise image storage
and anytime, anywhere clinical and diagnostic viewing into the
cloud, creating enhanced capabilities and clinical value not
available today. By aggregating imaging records within and between
health care institutions, and delivering a cloud-based solution
leveraging a unique virtualized platform, Peake will provide
economies of scale and can lower the total cost of ownership over
traditional "on premise" delivery, while maintaining the
performance, reliability and security associated with
business-critical systems.
This new offering will enable diagnostic viewing by leveraging
VMware vSphere® and VMware View™.
"Peake is entering the marketplace at an important inflection
point as health care providers feel more and more pressure from
regulatory and reimbursement challenges. Our goal is to deliver
solutions that take the burdens of cost, security and performance
off our customers and put them squarely on our shoulders," said
Adam Zaricki, president of Peake Healthcare Innovations. "Our
deployment of VMware and Intel technologies gives us the
opportunity to exceed the expectations of our market and the valued
customers we serve."
