VMware AlwaysOn Point of Care

Healthcare transformation is underway around the world. Digitized medical records and patient data can reduce medical errors, enable fast collaboration, and improve clinical outcomes. But if a clinician cannot access patient data or patient care applications because the data center or desktop is down, serious consequences can result.

By virtualizing clinical workspaces and hosting them in a private or hybrid cloud, VMware AlwaysOn Point of Care™ enables healthcare organizations to provide the “last mile” of electronic medical record delivery. This validated solution enables healthcare IT to deliver 24x7x365 access to patient care applications and digitized patient data—anywhere and from any device.

This guide provides an overview of the VMware AlwaysOn Desktop solution, its logical architecture, and validation of the capabilities by VMware experts. Based on products from VMware, this architecture represents the foundation on which customers and partners can build comprehensive desktop solutions that require high availability for end-user computing (EUC) services.

The solution is not exclusive to the products described within the architecture. Consult your VMware representative on how to implement this architecture with your preferred vendors and supported products. This document will be updated as newer capabilities are incorporated in the AlwaysOn Desktop solution.
