This is a guest blog post from Nutanix.

Nutanix, a leader in hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure, and Citrix are extending their partnership to help you build a simple, secure, and performant solution for your healthcare environment. From large healthcare systems to pharmaceutical research facilities and everything in between, running Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service on Nutanix Cloud Platform enhances security, simplifies operations, and delivers an excellent clinician and end-user experience to allow you to focus on what really matters — patient care.

The future of healthcare is now. And with Nutanix, your healthcare organization will be ready for anything. The benefits of building a Nutanix and Citrix technology stack at your healthcare organization include:

Enhanced Security

Nutanix and Citrix can help prevent data theft and loss from ransomware and malware while adhering to regulatory, compliance, and data privacy requirements including HIPAA, HITECH, and GDPR.

The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform is hardened by design, with advanced security features — including flexible encryption, and malware and ransomware protection — that complement and strengthen the granular security controls. Nutanix prevents the spread of malware and ransomware and avoids data loss and theft through comprehensive auditing, access controls, and data encryption.

The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform has been verified as Citrix Ready, which means it has undergone rigorous testing to provide seamless integration with Citrix. And Nutanix also simplifies datacenter infrastructure by integrating server and storage resources into a turnkey appliance that is deployed in just 60 minutes, ready to run Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops at scale.

Simplified Operations

Healthcare organizations are often spread across multiple hospitals, clinics and ambulatory sites with varying infrastructure needs that stretch IT resources to the limit. With Nutanix and Citrix you can provide consistent access to clinical and non-clinical apps and data, and have flexibility in supporting a varying number of clinicians and end-users without increasing complexity. The same team that manages desktops and apps can also easily manage servers, storage, and virtualization.

Whether you’re operating in a private, public, or hybrid multi-cloud, the combination of Nutanix and Citrix allows centralized management to support more end users without adding operational complexity.

Faster Deployments and Delivering a Consistent Experience

In EUC deployments in healthcare organizations, the clinician experience is critical — considering that poor user experience leads to less time providing patient care. And as we think about the future of healthcare, there is significant uncertainty on how telehealth and work-from-anywhere initiatives will evolve, requiring maximum flexibility and fast adaptation from IT. With Nutanix and Citrix, you can transition to a completely remote environment in hours versus days, adding thousands of desktops in a few hours. Standardized, secure environments scale quickly and deliver greater flexibility, increasing clinician and staff satisfaction.

Nutanix and Citrix help IT staff with healthcare-validated solutions for consistent performance from hundreds to thousands of end users. Users benefit from a responsive system that meets their needs, while your IT team spends less time on management and more time on high-value projects.

What Do Customers Say?

Here’s how Isaiah Nathaniel, Chief Information Officer at Delaware Valley Community Health (DVCH), deployed a combination of Citrix and Nutanix technologies while enabling 75 percent of staff to work remotely. The Nutanix solution has enabled DVCH to serve more patients, more efficiently, with improved speed and convenience — all during the course of a pandemic.
