Case Study

Digital KVM solution is perfect prescription

for healthcare partners data center upgrade

A change in philosophy

The foundation for good health starts with selecting the best care from the best resources.

Mercy Health Partners (MHP), a member of Catholic Healthcare Partners (CHP), and a

recognized leader in providing quality, cost-effective healthcare, further embraced that

philosophy by examining their IS functions after acquiring another regional health system.

An initial checkup revealed that to provide better service for patients visiting the hospitals in

the CHP network, there was a need to update their server philosophy.

CHP, based in Cincinnati, needed to combine their autonomous regional IS data center

functions to provide a more effective and efficient application deployment. Of utmost interest

was the consolidation from several regional data centers to the company's two Ohio mega

data centers located in Cincinnati and Youngstown.

"Our core challenge is to provide cost-effective application deployment to desktops,"

explained Ben Patrick, senior database administrator for Mercy Health Partners. "We are

spread across the country and every regional system on our network has its own copy of

most of the applications. We had multiple copies of the same application, on multiple servers

with multiple people managing that technology. The goal is to consolidate hardware to one

of two facilities, and then come back and examine consolidating the same or similar

applications to an effective solution."

In addition to the consolidation of the two organizations, MHP was outgrowing its current

data center and faced many issues with regular KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switches.

Avocent DSR™ solutions offer local and remote access in one KVM switch. They are scalable,

flash-upgradeable and require only 1U of valuable rack space.
