“Virtualization allows us to have redundancy,” notes
Papayannopoulos. “If a server fails, then the virtual
machines will immediately go to another server. Users
are almost never interrupted. As a result, we have seen
a huge reduction of support calls.”

Papayannopoulos says the server infrastructure
currently includes five dual-core servers with four
processors each. Plans call for upgrading that
environment to AMD quad core processors,² improving
both processing power and energy efficiency while
providing plenty of room for growth in the thin client
computing environment. “That’s the versatility that HP

He estimates that the total solution—including both thin
clients and the servers supporting them—has resulted
in significant energy savings.

Also important to his staff is the improvement in IT
management. First, the thin clients themselves are much
more reliable because they have no moving parts. In
addition, applications are supported in the data center
rather than at each individual desktop. So updating an
application or deploying a new one involves changes
to five centrally located servers, rather than 200
desktops scattered throughout the facility.

The solution also enhances security. First, the thin
clients are virus-resistant because there’s no hard drive.
“If a virus tried to infect a thin client, there’s nowhere to
write the virus. By rebooting the thin client, you
eliminate the virus,” Papayannopoulos says.

Moreover, patient data resides in the data center with
the servers, not on the desktops. So even if a thin client
is physically stolen, no data is lost. “It actually helps us
maintain our HIPAA security initiative to make sure that
no patient data is ever released,” Papayannopoulos

Lower costs, improved user satisfaction
Overall, including lower costs for the thin clients,
energy savings and improved efficiency in IT
management, Papayannopoulos estimates that North
Shore Medical Center’s total costs to provide desktop
computing have been reduced substantially.

Users love the new thin client solution. Physicians call

For the IT department, the thin client solution means
less time chasing down problems out on the patient
floors, and more time for fine-tuning the infrastructure
to better meet user needs. “HP support has been very
helpful in customizing our implementation,”
Papayannopoulos says. “When we wanted to do
things a little differently, they actually worked with us to
