Boosting service while improving efficiency
The cost of U.S. healthcare is growing faster than
GDP, putting enormous pressures on healthcare IT
departments to add new services faster, enhance
reliability, and minimize costs.

These three drivers guide Ron Fisher and his IT
colleagues as they take care of 1,700 servers at
Premera Blue Cross (Premera). These servers in

HP Virtual Connect helps Premera grow
faster and cut costs
With consolidation and better control, the HP BladeSystem enables
a leading health plan to improve services, reduce costs, and avoid
a build-out.
“With HP Virtual Connect and Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager, adding
a server is a simple matter of plugging a blade in, putting an image on it,
and then assigning it to an already pre built network. It takes minutes.”
