Description

This week, you have read about server virtualization and cloud computing in chapter 6 of your textbook. For your written assignment this week, complete a case study of the organization you work for (use a hypothetical or “other” organization if more applicable) that will address the following prompts:

  • Describe the organization’s environment, and evaluate its preparedness for virtualization.
  • Explain Microsoft (or another product) licensing for virtualized environments.
  • Recommend a configuration for shared storage; make sure to discuss the need for high availability and redundancy for virtualization for the organization.
  • Explain Windows Azure capabilities for virtual machines and managing a hybrid cloud, including Windows Azure’s Internet as a Service (IaaS) and storage capabilities

Make a recommendation for cloud computer use in the organization, including a justification for your recommendations.

The Organization’s IT Environment and Evaluation of its Preparedness for Virtualization
I previously worked in a mid-sized hospital environment and that is the organization I
will be using for this paper. The hospital operates in a decentralized, physical, multiple-server,
non-virtualized IT environment for the last five years it has been in existence. The integration of
information technology into the hospital has resulted in various electronic methods used to
manage patients’ health records and has improved the quality of care. There were many
applications of I.T in the hospital in areas of electronic medical prescriptions, computerized
order entries, clinical decision support, telehealth and electronic medical record systems such as
Electronic Medical Records and Electronic Health Records. However, with the organization’s
commitment to meet its growing needs along with the future of healthcare shaping up with
advances in digital healthcare technologies such as artificial intelligence and nanotechnology, it
has to familiarize itself with the latest developments and prepare to control technology through
the use of methods like cloud computing and virtualization.
Virtual infrastructure will be very important when incorporated into the organization’s
environment because it has been taking some factors into consideration such as efficiency, cost
savings, security and recovery options and the amount of space taken by physical infrastructure.
As the organization prepares for virtualization, it first of all has to set clear expectations with
both management and the operation team by coming up with a strategy that outlines how the
virtualization implementation will fit into the broad IT strategy from both a short-term and longterm perspective (Latimer, 2007). With the right virtualization strategy in place, implementation
will also run smoothly. The organization will have to ...
