Nutanix, a leader in hybrid multi-cloud computing, and Citrix are continuing to strengthen their partnership to help you build a simple, secure, and flexible infrastructure for your healthcare environment. From large healthcare systems to pharmaceutical research facilities and everything in between, running Citrix DaaS / VDI 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.
Healthcare IT is constantly evolving, and with Nutanix your healthcare organization will be ready for anything. Here are the benefits of building a Nutanix and Citrix technology stack at your healthcare organization.
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 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 Citrix secure access solutions offer. Nutanix prevents the spread of malware and ransomware and helps you avoid data loss and theft through comprehensive access controls and data encryption.
Combined with a unified secure access solution from Citrix, healthcare organizations can accelerate digital transformation and modernize IT with a cloud-delivered security stack based on zero trust. The Nutanix Cloud Platform is verified as Citrix Ready, which means it has undergone a rigorous validation process 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 at scale.
Simplified Operations
Healthcare organizations are often spread across multiple hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory sites with varying infrastructure needs that stretch IT resources. With Nutanix and Citrix, you can provide consistent access to all apps and data and have flexibility in supporting a varying number of clinicians 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.
Deploying Faster and Delivering a Consistent Experience
In EUC deployments, the clinician experience is critical — considering that poor user experience leads to less time providing patient care. And as emerging hybrid workstyles evolve and adapt there is growing demand for telehealth and work from anywhere, requiring maximum flexibility and faster agility from IT. With Nutanix and Citrix, you can fluidly switch from a traditional on-prem environment to a hybrid remote environment and back again with ease and in a fraction of time and effort.
Nutanix and Citrix help IT staff provide consistent performance from hundreds to thousands of end users. Users benefit from a responsive system that meets their needs, enabling them to provide greater patient care with the speed and efficiency they expect.
