3Cloud Data Solutions Make Healthcare Compliance Concerns a Thing of the Past

3Cloud LLC
3Cloud is transforming the healthcare, pharmaceutical and life sciences industries by modernizing data estates and applications while driving interoperability with the Microsoft Azure cloud. 3Cloud's broad array of offerings, including high performance computing, bioinformatics, application modernization, modern data platform, FHIR and interoperability have led them to become the go to partner across the industry.

With forward-thinking data estate and app modernization solutions, 3Cloud enables physicians and other healthcare providers to see a more complete view of their patients and develop a better understanding of their utilization rates and demand for services. 3Cloud is empowering decision-makers across the industry to look at how healthcare providers access and use health information to drive better models of care, improve patient safety and clinical outcome, and enhance the overall patient experience.

Healthcare systems must always balance the delivery of care with operational efficiency. Clinical outcomes, revenue cycle management, progressive research, and administrative efficiency compete for attention. 3Cloud helps providers create modern data platforms to improve revenue cycle analytics, supply chain management, nurse schedules, reimbursement rates and more to ensure that their internal operations run smoothly and effectively.

Insurers often have a large variety of sources and levels of complexity when it comes to data. A leading U.S. healthcare payor whose tens of thousands of employees serve millions of members is working to transform their business by embracing a nimble, elastic modern data architecture. By partnering with 3Cloud to launch their business transformation, the insurer saw almost instantaneous benefits, including rapid access to accurate data and predictive analytics.

3Cloud is also helping healthcare payors and providers tackle data integration challenges and comply with the CMS interoperability requirements under the 2016 Cures Act. 3Cloud's solutions for Fast Health Interoperability Resources (FHIR) are designed to create a modern, secure and highly flexible environment. By implementing a framework leveraging Azure Health Data Services for the consumption, storage and aggregation of data with industry-leading architecture and data design patterns, they provide a simple and digestible way for developers to interact with healthcare data. This allows for the focus to shift more towards innovation and less on managing infrastructure supporting interoperability use cases.  Once this framework is established, focus can be shifted to advancing innovation through SMART on FHIR application development, complex integrations, and advanced analytics, all of which lead to a better patient or member experience.

Their experience building, managing and migrating HIPAA-compliant applications on the cloud helps organizations create and execute the right plan to modernize their applications, without affecting current business operations or compromising proprietary applications. Prioritization is put on reducing operating costs and gaining the agility to iterate and innovate with ease.

The cloud offers opportunities to perform bioinformatics analyses interactively and at-scale, helping to overcome the struggle for genomics research to analyze vast amounts of data in an efficient way. 3Cloud has perfected this by using Azure Synapse to analyze millions of variants quickly as opposed to the old way of using large, on-premise high performance computing (HPC) cluster jobs. Another method 3Cloud utilizes to pave the way for genomics research is by using Azure Data Lake to centralize data and automate bioinformatics pipelines in the cloud, while also providing enterprise-grade data security. 3Clouds' Azure Data and Analytics Platform solution makes creating new research enclaves for research projects a templatized, automated process, taking research startup time from days to hours. It also provides researchers with the ability to use traditional frameworks or High Compute (HCP) services, streamlining the process of delivering results.

The strong relationship with Microsoft is a cornerstone of 3Cloud's proven success. This year they were awarded Microsoft Partner of the Year across multiple categories, including:
  • Worldwide Winner Migration to Azure
  • Worldwide Winner Solution Assessments
  • US Winner Solution Assessments
  • US Winner Modernizing Applications
  • Worldwide Finalist Analytics
  • Worldwide Finalist Healthcare & Life Sciences

3Cloud was selected from over 3,900 worldwide and 1,800 national partner nominations, for demonstrating excellence in digital innovation and modernizing clients' data estates and applications on the Microsoft Azure platform.

Leostream Enhances Security and Management of vSphere Hybrid Cloud Deployments

Business Wire | January 29, 2024

Leostream Corporation, the world's leading Remote Desktop Access Platform provider, today announced features to enhance security, management, and end-user productivity in vSphere-based hybrid cloud environments. The Leostream platform strengthens end-user computing (EUC) capabilities for vSphere users, including secure access to both on-premises and cloud environments, heterogeneous support, and reduced cloud costs. With the Leostream platform as the single pane of glass managing EUC environments, any hosted desktop environment, including individual virtual desktops, multi-user sessions, hosted physical workstations or desktops, and hosted applications, becomes simpler to manage, more secure, more flexible, and more cost-effective. Significant ways the Leostream platform expands vSphere’s capabilities include: Security The Leostream platform ensures data remains locked in the corporate network, and works across on-premises and cloud environments, providing even disparate infrastructures with the same levels of security and command over authorization, control, and access tracking. The Leostream platform supports multi-factor authentication and allows organizations to enforce strict access control rules, creating an EUC environment modeled on a zero-trust architecture. Multivendor/protocol support The Leostream platform was developed from the ground up for heterogeneous infrastructures and as the connection management layer of the EUC environment, the Leostream platform allows organizations to leverage vSphere today and other hypervisors or hyperconvergence platforms in the future as their needs evolve. The Leostream platform supports the industry’s broadest array of remote display protocols, including specialized protocols for mission-critical tasks. Consistent EUC experience The Leostream platform enables IT to make changes to the underlying environment while ensuring the end user experience is constant, and to incorporate AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or OpenStack private clouds into their environment without disruptions in end-user productivity. By integrating with corporate Identity Providers (IdPs) that employees are already familiar with, and providing employees with a single portal they use to sign in, the Leostream platform offers simplicity to users too. Connectivity The Leostream Gateway securely connects to on-prem and cloud resources without virtual private networks (VPNs), and eliminates the need to manage and maintain security groups. End users get the same seamless login and high-performance connection across hybrid environments including corporate resources located off the internet. Controlling cloud costs The Leostream Connection Broker implements automated rules that control capacity and power state in the cloud, allowing organizations to optimize their cloud usage and minimize costs, such as ensuring cloud instances aren’t left running when they are no longer needed. The Connection Broker also intelligently pools and shares resources across groups of users, so organizations can invest in fewer systems, reducing overall cost of ownership. “These features deliver a streamlined experience with vSphere and hybrid or multi-cloud resources so end users remain productive, and corporate data and applications remain secure,” said Leostream CEO Karen Gondoly. “At a time when there is uncertainty about the future of support for VMware’s end-user computing, it’s important to bring these options to the market to show that organizations can extend vSphere’s capabilities and simultaneously plan for the future without disruption to the workforce.” About Leostream Corporation Leostream Corporation, the global leader in Remote Desktop Access Platforms, offers comprehensive solutions that enable seamless work-from-anywhere environments for individuals across diverse industries, regardless of organization size or location. The core of the Leostream platform is its commitment to simplicity and insight. It is driven by a unified administrative console that streamlines the management of users, cloud desktops, and IT assets while providing real-time dashboards for informed decision-making. The company continually monitors the evolving remote desktop landscape, anticipating future trends and challenges.
