St. Louis, MO, April 7, 2011 – Hexagrid, a leading developer of cloud enablement solutions, announced today that Our Urgent Care, a reputable chain of independently owned urgent care centers, continues to grow its healthcare business with IT efficiencies only available through cloud. Hexagrid’s cost-effective cloud solutions provide reliable, enterprise-class functionality with grow-as-you-go scalability that allows companies of any size to optimize their IT investments. In July 2008, Our Urgent Care initiated Hexagrid’s VxDatacenter technology to virtualize its mission-critical applications and build a flexible, easily administered private cloud.
Electronic information, HIPAA compliance, and associated management applications require healthcare businesses to ensure high availability and performance of secure IT infrastructure as a vital part of everyday operations. Our Urgent Care purchased the Patient Record Management application to handle real-time patient information, claims, and billing for multiple locations. The company also added digitized x-ray imaging at each location which increases archival storage capacity at an annual rate of 2 Terabytes. With more IT requirements than ever before, many businesses in the health care industry look to cloud for the dream of IT simplicity, flexibility, and efficiency—Our Urgent Care realizes this dream with VxDatacenter.
Hexagrid’s VxDatacenter cloud platform centralizes Our Urgent Care’s IT server and storage resources with virtual desktop connecting the company’s three locations. All Our Urgent Care desktop computers are clients of their HIPAA-compliant private cloud which reduces local processing requirements and maximizes IT resource utilization. When opening two new locations over the next 18 months, Our Urgent Care will simply connect the additional computers to cloud for immediate access to critical IT applications and infrastructure. In addition, VxDatacenter allows Our Urgent Care to minimize downtime when reallocating or migrating critical IT resources without the risk of data corruption or rollbacks.
“By virtualizing our IT infrastructure, we’ve gained the flexibility to serve our patients and manage our business with minimal concern for IT security, capacity or performance,” says Dr. Atluri, the Founder of Our Urgent Care. “We recently opened a fourth center in St. Charles, MO then merged our Warrenton and Wentzville locations—the technology component of these strategic business decisions has never been easier. With Hexagrid’s cloud solution, we reduced IT costs and simplified IT administration to focus on being a successful healthcare company.”
