Healthcare Provider Eliminates Application Conflicts With Application Virtualization

Community Medical Centers operates three acute-care hospitals and several long-term care and outpatient centers in California's San Joaquin Valley. With more than 350 computer applications to maintain, the organization was encountering a growing number of application conflicts. In response, Community Medical Centers deployed Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization 4.2 to its 3,500 workstations and uses the SoftGrid Sequencer wizard to package many of its applications for Windows as virtual services that are streamed on demand to workstations. As result, the healthcare provider has practically eliminated application conflicts for those applications and can deliver new applications to users faster and with less downtime. At the same time, administrators are able to more effectively manage desktop applications and reduce support time.
