In the Air and On the Cloud!
From flying a child who suffered a traumatic brain injury to transporting a retiree for an organ transplant, we are ready to help – says the visionary organisation, “Angel MedFlight”. The IT infrastructure behind this possibility allows their teams to respond rapidly, dispatching an aircraft within few hours for life-saving transports, making it possible for this mission critical organisation make the treatment possible and successful at 40,000 feet in the air!
The company is powered by a massive digital transformation – the one that reduced operational tasks from hours to minutes, that help them to save more lives than before. The transformation completely shifted the paradigm, reimagining their entire infrastructure, processes and workflows.
Angel MedFlight is serious about their commitment to patients. That’s why the technology behind the scenes is so crucial. It’s also why they chose key technology partners, like VMware, to maintain their “always up” infrastructure — and with room to grow. They already have the expertise to be caring for a patient at 40,000 feet. Now, VMware has given them the strength of information at their fingertips.
313 million surgical procedures take place every year. Only 6 percent occur in the world’s poorest nations. For impoverished Africans, a floating hospital brings hope and healing to the forgotten poor. “Mercy Ships” - Without Mercy Ships and its selfless teams of volunteers, these three people—and thousands more—would have died or suffered painful lives.
Instead, Tresor, Assiastou, Emmanuel and so many others living in impoverished African regions found healing and new hope when a hospital floated to shore.
With everyone doing their bit, and a bit more, heroic operations that would cost thousands of pounds in Europe can be done for next to nothing. Well over 5,000 people had lined up in the sweltering sun in a football stadium for screening day. During the ship’s stay, nearly 800 patients had come down her gangway dancing on sunshine. This was a ship that carried that rare, most valuable commodity: a cargo of mercy.
The team behind the Mercy Ships must contend with not only remote access limitations, but also the underdeveloped technology infrastructure in African nations. To help solve this challenge, Mercy Ships is building a state-of-the-art digital foundation, leveraging hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), software-defined datacenter (SDDC), networking, security and mobility innovations.
VMware helps such critical companies accomplish the key missions that move them forward, freeing them to shape an unlimited future. These key missions align with VMware’s four strategic IT priorities: Modernize Data Centers, Integrate Public Clouds, Empower the Digital Workspace and Transform Security.
