Rackspace Technology, a leading end-to-end hybrid cloud and AI solutions company, has announced it has partnered with Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin (Dell Med) as a strategic IT infrastructure provider, hosting and managing healthcare-related data centre needs, including managing its Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR) and adjacent workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategic partnership will be part of the transformative journey to establish Dell Med as the anchor of a world-class academic medical center serving Central Texas and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its Digital Transformation, Dell Med selected Rackspace as a strategic partner to deliver a fully managed service model for the institution\u2019s hosted data centre and Epic deployment. This partnership lays the foundation for Epic to serve as the medical centre’s comprehensive EHR platform across all future clinics and hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Partnering with Rackspace for our hosted data centre needs is crucial to our continued success, and the Epic deployment will be one of the first big steps in our joint journey forward,” said Michael Ryan, CIO and Chief Administrative Officer at Dell Med. “The Rackspace team will not only provide primary hosting for our Epic deployment and other application workloads but also a fully managed service model that ensures a seamless transition and operational excellence.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership highlights a joint commitment to pursuing transformative initiatives that enhance healthcare service delivery, medical education and research. Leveraging Rackspace\u2019s infrastructure and expertise in Epic deployments, Dell Med aims to revolutionise healthcare access and delivery, significantly advancing patient care standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Transformative solutions like ours can significantly improve operational efficiencies and we are proud to work alongside such a prestigious organisation,” said Harjott Atrii, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer for Private Cloud, Rackspace Technology. “We recognise the importance of being a trusted partner in healthcare technology and our experience in delivering critical capabilities positions us to effectively support Dell Med\u2019s mission, demonstrating how advanced cloud solutions can redefine Healthcare IT.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Plans As part of its long-term digital strategy, Dell Med plans to build a new academic medical centre without a traditional physical data centre. Rackspace will host and manage critical components of the system\u2019s digital infrastructure, including Epic and other clinical workloads, through secure, compliant cloud services designed with redundancy to support patient safety, regulatory standards and system resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
