Michael Hoch, VP, Virtustream sits down with theCUBE at Dell EMC World 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. • #DellEMCWorld #theCUBE • https://siliconangle.com/2017/05/13/v... • How is Virtustream’s custom healthcare cloud improving on regular enterprise cloud? • Can Virtustream Inc.’s new Healthcare Cloud make the custom-cloud dream a reality for medical and science professionals? • “It’s a highly regulated environment, highly controlled environment, needs to support audit and compliance, and needs availability, the five 9s [99.999 percent] availability, that Virtustream’s been doing for a long, long time,” said Michael Hoch (pictured), vice president at Virtustream Inc., of the company’s new private cloud. • Virtustream has been operating its enterprise cloud with a focus on Enterprise Resource Planning and mission-critical applications for six years, Hoch told host John Furrier (@furrier) and guest host Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor), of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile live streaming studio, during Dell EMC World in Las Vegas, Nevada. (* Disclosure below.) • Virtustream’s Enterprise Cloud has won lots of customers in the financial services without any industry-specific modifications, Hoch stated. Staunch regulations made this a harder nut to crack, so Virtustream took its time honing its Enterprise Cloud for healthcare and life sciences. • Compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Food and Drug Administration and Good x Practice rules had to be met. • Pay-per-drip pricing • Competing with Amazon Web Services Inc. for specific customers may be a foolhardy move these days, but Virtustream’s cloud has advantages over Amazon’s GxP cloud, according to Hoch. • For one, Virtustream charges on a pay-per-drip utility model. “At Amazon, you’re going to buy a VM [Virtual Machine] for each and every app that you have, database, web-server, everything else. You pay for that VM when it’s turned on whether you’re using it or not,” he said. • Virtustream’s liberal hybrid philosophy allows customers to decide if they’d like to rewrite legacy apps and also how many apps they migrate, Hoch explained. “Move the parts that are relevant to the cloud, where you can gain the most efficiencies, where you might be having stability issues, where you need high security,” he concluded. • Watch the complete video interview below, and be sure to check out more of SiliconANGLE’s and theCUBE’s independent editorial coverage of Dell EMC World 2017.
