NSMC reduces power consumption and cooling costs while improving patient support by implementing a virtualization strategy utilizing AMD Opteron™ processor-based HP servers. This allowed NSMC to consolidate 150 servers to 94 servers, with 86 of them running virtualized. NSMC then extended the solution to their doctors and staff by launching cutting edge VDI technology with AMD Sempron™ processor-based thin Clients.
