The challenge:  Building advanced IT that supports medical breakthroughs

This relentless quest for medical advancement puts enormous pressure, however, on IT infrastructure and the people who support it.  Scientists and researchers need to know that IT will support their important work by delivering advanced, highly scalable computing platforms that perform reliably.  This isn’t always easy.  Budget pressures, skill deficits, and competition for scarce computing resources are just some of the challenges facing IT today in health and life sciences.  Private and public cloud are seen as promising avenues to more efficient IT delivery, but these each present their own unique challenges in terms of resources and skills.
