Why Cisco and AMD are the smart choice for healthcare
No one matches Cisco’s portfolio, performance, or security for Electronic Health Record (EHR) applications. Cisco is the partner healthcare organizations trust to connect and protect data in the AI era.
We help deliver outcomes that matter
● AI-ready data centers designed to meet the scale and performance demands of healthcare organizations.
● Future-proof workspaces that are smart, connected and digital-first to provide positive patient experiences.
● Digital resilience that protects patients and their data.
Unmatched performance and protection for leading EHR solutions
Healthcare providers, clinics, and hospitals of all sizes use EHR applications to manage medical records. As the number of records grows, so do performance demands for these applications and their supporting back-end systems and databases.
Cisco UCS compute nodes and rack servers with AMD EPYC® CPUs and AMD Instinct™ GPUs deliver the speed and security EHR deployments require. Nexus switches with AMD Pensando™ Data Processing Units (DPUs) provide healthcare organizations with complete, EHR optimized infrastructure.
AI-ready infrastructure for healthcare
AMD CPUs, GPUs and DPUs have been tested and validated for EHR and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platforms.
