3. The Building Surge of Healthcare Data
• Digitization of healthcare data
• Higher resolution images, sound, video
• New data types; e.g. genomics
• Longer retention needs
• Health information exchange, and
proliferation of duplicates
• Sensitive data must be protected everywhere
• Access required anywhere, anytime on any device
Cloud can help address these challenges
Security, compliance and user experience are critical considerations

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to
any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.

11. Ultra High-Speed Networking Optimizations
Aspera Labs
• Challenge: Improving big data transfer to and from the backend
data center
• Solution: Optimize ultra high-speed (10 Gbps and beyond) data
transfer solutions built on Aspera’s FASP ™ transport technology
and Intel’s innovative hardware platform
• Benefits with Intel Xeon E5-2600 (DDIO, SR-IOV)
− 300% improvement in Aspera transfer throughput
− Same transfer speed performance in both physical and virtualized
computing environments
− Both LAN and WAN transfer speeds had similar results
• Infrastructure and Data Characteristics:

12. High Throughput Science: Embracing Cloud-based Analytics
• Challenge: Team of cancer researchers had to screen a
drug concept with a list of tens of millions of molecules
working with a tight deadline, a fixed budget, and strict
security and compliance requirements. Schrödinger’s
existing in-house servers would be tied up for weeks
• Solution: Schrödinger used software from AWS partner,
Cycle Computing, to provision a fully secured cluster of
50,000 cores, powered by the Intel® Xeon® processor
E5 family.
− This configuration enabled the team to run 16
million molecular simulations an hour.
− Developed 1000 molecule list in < 8hrs.

13. GEHC Medical Quality Improvement Consortium
Challenge – How to gain added value from wealth
(MQIC)
of data in EMRs/EHRs and other digital health
information tools
Solution – Providers contribute de-identified data
from their Centricity EMRs and used the resulting
data warehouse and analytics capabilities to
enhance their quality and reporting activities.
1.6 billion documents representing 30 million deidentified patient records and 209 million office
visits.
Benefits - Physician practices and ambulatory care
clinics deliver their best care more efficiently,
along with population-based research and public
health activities.

Key Challenges
• Launch New Cloud Services to meet growing demand from healthcare organizations for flexible, costeffective, outsourced IT
• Provide a Trusted Environment that helps providers protect sensitive information and comply with
regulations
Solution
• Infrastructure based on Intel® Xeon E5 servers
• Integrated Intel® AES-NI technology improved encryption performance by 49.25% (1.97x) and
improved decryption performance by 62.16% (2.64x)
• AES-NI hardened against side channel attacks and associated exploits
AES -NI is a set of instructions that consolidates mathematical operations used in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. Enabling AES-NI requires a computer system with an AES-NI-enabled processor as well as non-Intel software to execute the instructions in the correct sequence.
For availability of AES-NI enabled processors or systems, check with your reseller or system manufacturer.

18. Summary
• Healthcare is undergoing a rapid transformation
• Agile organizations will be best positioned to adapt
quickly to this changing environment
• Cloud computing can enable agile, cost effective, and highly
available solutions… but ensuring security and
compliance concerns are addressed is paramount
• Intel is working with fellow travelers to produce secure,
high performance, cloud solutions that help meet
compliance and integration needs of the healthcare
industry
