We already adopted VMware for server virtualization and were interested in having a single solution and common platform to manage our cloud environment. 'Using VMware ThinApp for application virtualization was a natural progression for Spectrum. VMware ThinApp provides Spectrum Health clinicians with non-stop, easy access to their point-of-care medical applications from a wide variety of devices inside and outside of their facilities.

This bridging strategy will enable Spectrum Health's IT team to easily migrate to a completely cloud-based environment. Virtualizing key medical applications such as Epic Hyperspace, Cerner Millennium and McKesson's Horizon Homecare, allows Spectrum Health to standardize and streamline application delivery from their datacenter to existing desktop devices.

Spectrum Health chose to deploy VMware ThinApp as a key step to move from a physical to a virtual environment. Spectrum Health partnered with Data Strategy, a trusted Premier VMware Solution Provider, to develop a cloud computing and desktop virtualization strategy to transform their existing desktop and application infrastructure into a modern, adaptive environment, enabling them to scale on demand while minimizing risk and reducing costs. Spectrum Health needed a solution that would scale and accommodate their plans for expansion.

Their existing infrastructure, a mixture of traditional client/server modules and application publishing, was not sufficient for a larger scale environment. In 2010, Spectrum Health set out to build a private cloud to deliver mission critical medical applications-as-a-service from their datacenter. Streamlining EMR Delivery through the Cloud: Spectrum Health, a premier national healthcare provider, has experienced significant growth over the last few years, and currently has more than 16,700 employees including 1,500 medical staff members, nine hospitals, 170 service sites and over 2,000 licensed beds. VMware, Inc., the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, recently announced that Spectrum Health has chosen VMware ThinApp to provide fast and efficient access to point-of-care applications, electronic medical records (EMR) and patient data from their cloud computing environment.
