Healthcare Solutions

Application Delivery

Applications and Web services integrate healthcare systems so they share information and connect physicians, healthcare professionals, suppliers and administrators to automated business processes. Whether the Internet is being used for patient care, financial, supply chain, customer relationship management, or other business critical applications, the essential requirements remain the same: without the appropriate level of performance, availability, and security, applications cannot deliver on their intended purpose.

Array APV Series application delivery controllers allow healthcare providers to fully maximize their investment in application infrastructure – reducing supply chain expenses, improving employee retention and recruitment, and enabling clinicians to better focus on patient care. Moreover, as patients demand greater access to data and services via Web-based self-help programs, the need for Array's performance, availability, and security enhancing products and solutions continues to rise.

High availability features – including intelligent layer 4-7 server load balancing, global server load balancing, and N+1 clustering – keep applications running non-stop during under any circumstance. Connection multiplexing, compression, caching, SSL acceleration, and SpeedCore™ packet processing accelerate application performance to increase adoption and overall usage. Integrated packet inspection and the hardened Array operating system contribute to maintaining HIPAA compliance, guarding against both unauthorized access and malicious attack.

Desktop Delivery

Using DesktopDirect, Array’s innovative remote desktop access solution, enabled a large health care provider to offer anytime, anywhere access to work computers, which was especially critical for non-technical users. The solution’s data leakage prevention capability prevented the accidental loss of medical information, enabling the provider to maintain HIPAA compliance for remote users. DesktopDirect provided a way to ensure continuity of time-sensitive medical treatments when hospital administrative staff could not get into their offices for any number of reasons, and significantly reduced the number of VPN users and laptops, enabling the provider to implement a critical BCP measure while staying well within a limited IT budget.

Secure Access

Array secure access solutions improve patient care and speed medical administration by providing secure, anytime anywhere access to critical information including patient records, lab results, real-time cardiac monitoring and radiology. Array secure access solutions support any application – Web, client/server, file transfer, terminal servers, and mainframe – on PCs, kiosks, laptops, or other Internet-enabled devices, making information and resources accessible when time is of the essence.

Array secure remote access solutions do not require changes to existing infrastructure and eliminate the need for installation and management of burdensome VPN clients. A single Array appliance can scale to meet the needs of the largest healthcare organization and, in so doing, greatly simplify management and dramatically reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). In addition, an intuitive end-user experience makes the Array secure access technology transparent – allowing caregivers to focus on what is truly important: patients.

Lastly, because security and privacy are legal requirements, Array access solutions support the most comprehensive suite of security features on the market including: robust client-side security; granular authentication, authorization, and auditing; and a security-hardened operating system with integrated firewall. Built from the ground up to enable unmatched security and mobility, Array solutions allow healthcare staff to make faster and more informed decisions while remaining fully HIPPA compliant.
