Case Study: HCA IT&S achieves greater IT efficiency with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and System Center 2012

Healthcare Provider Upgrades Software to Increase IT Automation and Respond Faster

HCA - Information Technology & Services, the IT arm of a major healthcare provider, needed to improve its IT efficiency and accelerate its adoption of new technologies to respond faster to business needs. The company sought more powerful automation tools to manage its large, virtualized data center environment more strategically. To address this, HCA IT&S began working with Microsoft Corporation to explore the Windows Server 2012 operating system and Microsoft System Center 2012.

Microsoft Corporation implemented its Windows Server 2012 operating system through a Rapid Deployment Program, which provided HCA IT&S with early access and consulting support. The new platform, featuring Hyper-V and enhanced Windows PowerShell, enabled significant automation for tasks like virtual machine provisioning and live migration. This solution from Microsoft dramatically improved IT efficiency, allowing the staff to manage thousands of servers at once and respond more rapidly to business requirements.
