This transformation and all the new technologies associated with it are driving an explosion in data that puts an immense strain on legacy IT infrastructure to process, manage, and store it—a concept called "data gravity". The proliferation of cloud services in healthcare also creates a dramatically expanded attack surface for bad actors.

To get the most value out of data, meet regulatory overload, and deliver unrivalled patient care experiences, healthcare organisations need to rethink their IT architecture and adopt a new hybrid infrastructure model that removes the bottlenecks of data gravity and delivers an easy and secure experience for patients, employees, and partners alike.

To get the most value out of data, meet regulatory overload, and deliver unrivalled patient care experiences, healthcare organisations need to rethink their IT architecture. A new hybrid infrastructure model is required that removes the bottlenecks of data gravity and delivers a seamless and secure experience for patients, employees, and partners alike.

This brief explains how this new decentralised IT architecture, called Pervasive Datacenter architecture (PDx), enables infrastructure deployments matched to the healthcare industry’s needs, no matter the data centre size, scale, location, configuration, or ecosystem interconnections.
