ClearCube Introduces PC Blade Technology to the EMEA Healthcare Market EMEA Team Expands Amid Rapid Growth NEWS RELEASE - Healthcare Computing 2005 ClearCube Technology, the market leader and pioneer in PC blade computing, today announced the expansion of its EMEA operations to bring PC Blade Technology to the EMEA Healthcare market. John Fleming, recently appointed as the new VP for EMEA, has been tasked to build on the significant wins that ClearCube Technology has achieved across EMEA including deployments in the healthcare sector. John Fleming, ClearCube VP for EMEA said: "The National Programme for IT in the NHS will bring modern computer systems into our health system to improve patient care and services. This initiative will over the next ten years connect over 30,000 GPs in England to almost 300 hospitals and give patients access to their personal health and care information, transforming the way the NHS works." "Our experience to date covers over 100 state-of-the-art US hospital implementations including the Oklahoma Heart Hospital, America's first all-digital hospital and Northwestern Memorial, a major multi-site clinical practice. They have all built their hospitals around ClearCube Technology for secure patient data and many others make ClearCube the pervasive technology to consider in a healthcare environment. Meeting the stringent demands as outlined in the National Programme for IT for medical data security, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) PC Blade Technology also enables healthcare providers to dramatically reduce IT operating costs." Continued Fleming: "We've experienced an overwhelming reaction to our implementations thus far; the idea of dispensing with desktop PC technology has allowed care units to remove the PC completely from patient areas, leaving physicians and nursing staff a monitor, keyboard and mouse. This has eliminated the PC fan from sensitive areas within a hospital where it could spread airborne contaminants and has reduced the noise level in critical areas like maternity units, operating rooms, nursing stations and intensive care units." Healthcare IT departments have endorsed ClearCube Technology citing enhancements in the management of the PC Infrastructure, improvement in uptime and complete lock-down of equipment and patient data. "In hospital environments technicians are no longer required to enter operating theatres or examination areas as the blades can be hot-switched and diagnosis/repair from a data centre leaving medical staff with more space to work in, less heat and a more reliable system. The technology allows hospitals to focus on what they're here for which is the provision of critical patient services." The ClearCube solution is based on a simple but powerful concept: Centralise all PC computing assets into PC Blades at a secured location, with end-users connected to these blades through small devices called User Ports. The result is a dramatic improvement in the ease, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of managing the entire PC infrastructure. The ClearCube management software enables IT staff to remotely manage the infrastructure from anywhere in the world and to consistently deliver on demand computing to users according to their needs. By deploying the ClearCube PC Blade solution, customers realise 99.9 percent availability, stronger data and physical security, and 40 percent reduction in support costs. The ClearCube solution is available through an array of resellers across EMEA that are supported by direct sales team based in London and Munich.
