Multi-Cloud Strategy | The Design

Accelerate Healthcare Optimization with a Multi-Cloud ApproachSeventy-five percent of healthcare organizations believe the deployment of a cloud operating model will lead to improved patient care.1 And, while the deployment of a cloud strategy has the capacity to deliver, insufficient governance, shadow IT, and cloud sprawl are increasing risk, complexity, and cost. Organizations need to rethink how they manage their cloud portfolio, bringing together private, hybrid, public, and specialty cloud services into a single comprehensive, multi-cloud operating approach.

Multi-cloud adoption in healthcare is nearing the tipping point

Remove cloud silos Multi-cloud technologies like

elastic data platforms, consistent application platforms, and cloud-native standards facilitate secure data sharing and interoperability.

The average percentage of healthcare workloads

deployed in the cloud versus on-premise is expected to nearly

double in just one year.1

The Seven Layers of a Multi-Cloud Framework for HealthcareMulti-cloud is not a place, but rather an operating model—one that should be treated with the same rigor as designing other operating models. Healthcare organizations must plan for and execute against seven critical layers or steps to enable both clinical and business workloads to be securely stored, accessed, and shared in a reliable, resilient environment.

Portfolio

BUSINESS/OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Incorporate governance policies and processes, such as compliance, authorizations for use, and financial transactions for lease agreements.

AUTOMATION Think of this as the brain of the operation that knows how everything works.

ORCHESTRATION This is where the functionality parameters come into play. Think of this layer as the nervous system.

SOFTWARE-DEFINED COMPUTE Software-defined

is a must to ensure portability. Layers 5 to 7 must be controlled by an API so that layer 4, the nervous system, can connect to it.

Layers 5 to 7 are provided when a workload is deployed in a public cloud, but should be emulated in a private cloud.
