Dell has signed an agreement to provide Locala Community Partnerships in West Yorkshire, U.K., with a new cloud service that will deliver clinical and administrative information to the point of care.
The hybrid cloud model will provide Locala's staff with secure access to all relevant information systems, applications, and data from any location. Two-thirds of Locala's workforce of 1,200 has jobs that are mobile in nature.
The cloud will be hosted at a secure Dell data center in Slough, west of London. In addition to providing access to Locala's proprietary network, the new service will enable staff to access the National Health Service (NHS) N3 networks, as well as Microsoft Office 365 and Lync applications.
The cloud service contract is intended to ultimately enable the delivery of NHS community healthcare services to a population of more than 400,000 living in West Yorkshire.
