Hi all,
Is it feasible to run virtual servers with EMRs as yet?
Does something like Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (gotta love the focus
group who thought that name up) offer an option
We have over 40 Drs, 7 sites all relying on an inhouse EMR.
Our IT guru threw another server at the situation and using Microsoft
load balancing slowed it all down even further,
In total we have 7 servers doing different jobs, would be good to get
them all working on the same team or outsource it totally,
Duncan,
I have no direct experience, but a cycling colleague of mine who works
as a support guy for a utility company tells me they've gotten over
their problem of needing to run legacy apps that need NT Server using
the VMware virtual machine running on a Linux box.
It means they can image the native NT box and run the lot on up-to-date
hardware instead of trying to migrate NT server to new machines each
time one goes down. That, of course, is a big problem.
Apparently when they load th NT server drive contents to the VMware box
from the image it just runs. Saves them vast amounts time and completely
overcomes this legacy problem for them.
