ROUND ROCK, Texas (Business Wire EON) June 30, 2008 -- "Many health care IT organizations today operate under the mantra that 'more is better' when it comes to managing their data," said James Coffin, vice president, Dell Health Care and Life Sciences.

MedStar Health comprises seven hospitals and 19 other healthcare businesses serving more than half a million patients each year. Originally, every hospital had its own servers, creating an unmanageable infrastructure.

The MedStar Health team and Dell implemented a VMware solution, dramatically decreasing the number of physical servers in the data centers. Of the over 1,000 servers, 335 have been virtualized onto 18 VMware® servers, clearing several server racks.
