European Hospital VDI Infrastructure Optimization Case Study

This case study details the European Hospital's upgrade of its Electronic Patient Records (EPR) application and the implementation of a new virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). The hospital aimed to enhance the end-user experience for employees and volunteers while managing capacity for future applications. The study outlines the challenges faced in determining user density and performance metrics, which led to the deployment of Login Enterprise for capacity lifecycle management. The hospital achieved significant cost savings of $1.3 million and established benchmarks for future technology decisions. The analysis of various vendor options revealed that focusing on core speed rather than core count provided the best price-to-performance ratio. The hospital's decision-making process is documented, illustrating how real-life scenarios can lead to improved outcomes in both price and performance for infrastructure upgrades. The findings emphasize the importance of using actual user behavior in performance analysis to ensure optimal results.
