Overview:
Partners HealthCare was founded in 1994 by Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. Partners is an integrated health care system that offers patients a continuum of coordinated high-quality care. Partners HealthCare's North Shore Medical Center (NSMC) was planning new services and programs in response to its growing number of customer requirements. But the existing data center was unable to meet the company's needs, as described by Demetrios Papayannopoulos, corporate manager, Partners HealthCare. The current data center had no room for new servers, was consuming exorbitant amounts of energy, and experienced frequent failures. NSMC implemented the AMD Opteron processor running VMware virtual infrastructure software on HP ProLiant BL4Sp and BL25p blade servers. The system served as the execution arm of the company's server consolidation strategy.
