A hospital with over 500 staff members faced the challenge of assessing the efficiency and security of its VDI infrastructure. The goal was to identify areas of improvement and create a foundation for future expansion. To conduct this analysis, comdivision was brought in to perform a comprehensive health check and work closely with the hospital’s team to uncover opportunities for optimization.
The hospital was grappling with several critical issues in its VDI infrastructure. Recurring outages and performance fluctuations affected the availability and timely retrieval of essential patient data, which posed a significant risk to patient care. Additionally, there was no clear strategy for scaling the IT infrastructure to meet the hospital's growing demands. License management was also inefficient, leading to resource waste and additional potential costs.
Reinhard Partmann, an Architecht and Project Manager at comdivision, recognized that a health check would provide the hospital with the answers it needed to address these challenges. By offering an independent review of the existing infrastructure, the health check presented an opportunity to gain valuable insights and establish a strong foundation for future improvements. Through this analysis, vulnerabilities were identified, paving the way for targeted optimizations and sustainable enhancements.
comdivision's health check involved a detailed and systematic analysis of the hospital's entire VDI infrastructure. The full VDI stack was examined – including vSphere, the network, storage, and the underlying applications and licenses. This thorough assessment of both hardware and software aimed to identify performance bottlenecks and potential weaknesses in availability.
An equally important part of the solution was the collaboration between the hospital’s IT department and comdivision. Together, they not only identified potential weak points, but also developed actionable steps for immediate corrections. These quick fixes were designed to make the hospital’s IT environment more stable and secure.
Our final report summarized all findings and outlined clear recommendations for the next steps. Particular attention was given to documenting "quick fixes" that could be implemented immediately, which delivering rapid improvements in the system’s stability and efficiency. These measures often represent the missing pieces needed for successful infrastructure expansion. This process laid the groundwork for a secure and high-performing IT environment.
