Rackspace Technology, a leading end-to-end multi-cloud technology solutions company, has announced the CNWL NHS Foundation Trust leveraged a combination of public, private and government cloud solutions to address enormous pressure to meet the growing demand for its healthcare services and security for its mounting volume of patient data.
Founded in 2002, the Central and North West London (CNWL) NHS Foundation Trust provides healthcare in London, Milton Keynes and Surrey. With a staff of over 8,500, it provides over 300 services in 150 locations and 40 partner locations.
Before the pandemic, CNWL partnered with Rackspace Technology to implement a long-term Digital Transformation project, migrating legacy systems to Rackspace Private Cloud and then moving to a multi-cloud IT environment via Rackspace Government Cloud on Microsoft Azure.
When COVID-19 hit, the healthcare organisation put its transformation plans on hold. It pivoted to focusing on supporting remote work and new models of patient care with the help of its Rackspace Technology team.
“With Rackspace Private Cloud already providing the flexibility, speed and resilience it needed to bring innovation to its services, CNWL also deployed a public cloud on Microsoft Azure to deliver some of its services,” said Owen Powell, Director of ICT, CNWL NHS Foundation Trust. “To help ensure optimised security for its vast stores of sensitive patient data, Rackspace Technology recommended Rackspace Government Cloud, a fully managed security Platform-as-a-Service.”
