The back-end of Healthcare Technology: How Intel & Citrix Kaiser Permanente - helped

If you've been to the doctor lately or had any kind of medical procedures completed is, you may have noticed that things have changed in recent years: X-rays are now digital, your doctor types on a tablet, the blood pressure cuff is now examining the pulse and goes on the wrist, and many more

[

While not all offices have the same level of technical sophistication, there is no doubt that the technology in the health care industry is changing. What you may not know, however, that the devices on the changes also look to use the doctors and nurses, there is an entire backend aspect to these changes in the way of servers in a key role the play modernization of healthcare.

Remote Access

Many healthcare providers for clinicians and staff virtualized applications as secure way turn enter medical records to the laboratory work, and check on test results. With virtualization software, such as Citrix XenApp, the healthcare professional to access, record and stored update data on a remote server their device of choice. But as with any new technology or operational changes, there are many implementation and scaling challenges. In the case of virtualized environments storage performance bottlenecks can cause problems, resulting in a poor user experience.

Tech Team Effort

For Kaiser Permanente, involved the bottleneck challenge scaling the introduction of electronic patient records and its infrastructure that provides accessibility and user-friendly tools available while clinicians , In the medical world, if a serious case there, gather a team of doctors to determine the best solutions and the course of treatment. So it makes sense that if Kaiser faced a technological challenge with its electronic medical records, it is gathered a team of specialists, including Intel and Citrix.

Using a combination of the latest Intel® Xeon® processors, Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Citrix Provisioning Server and XenApp, Kaiser was able to roll a solution that not only a solid infrastructure provided, but also asked the cost available. Additionally, the user experience for clinicians was kept so that they can access their own personal settings and data

Desired State Configuration: with native DSC resources (Part 4) -

In my previous posts, the focus was on giving some background information about how the desired state configuration is working (DSC), some ideas how to use and some details for a very simple example.

Here I'm going to pass ~~ POS = TRUNC go a configuration that a configuration in the DSC resources to apply a number of uses built.

First, I want to back up a bit and call a concept. If you made a lot of blog posts and TechNet documents there read all examples see, you could easily describe as installation focused. Or only changes to the system that you would do if something install. And this observation is correct. DSC is still in this state v1 to this letter, which means that people are accustomed to use it, it stretches. And frankly talk about install actions is relatively simple.

One thing I want to mention now is that anyone can build a custom resource. And if you want to configure an application, this is the way to go. Put all your complex logic in this custom resource. Or wait for the software vendors that the custom resource to write, so you can use it. And you have to ask them to do that, for you to bring the ball rolling. There is nothing that says that DSC is not the applications are configured to be installed in a previous step. We are closer to that later on

Back to this example, a Citrix license server with DSC resources Installation

Before getting into my example I would like to mention a few things: ..

1. In my setup I'm using the full XenDesktop media ISO as a ZIP archive, and I am hosing it on an HTTP endpoint (IIS server). This is an internally hosted, isolated and unsecured endpoint - strictly to demonstrate it an example of various resources and opportunities. In other words, you learn from the example but please "do not do this at home."
2. I am also no orders show that Citrix eDocs not already documented in even the DSC documentation in TechNet . You need to read these sources for the final and current documentation

Here, the configuration script is example :.

Let's start by this work. Example

In line 3 is something new; Import DscResource. This will now modules are called if they are not sent as part of the operating system. able to take on this configuration, the xPSDesiredStateConfiguration module must be in the PowerShell path before. If you observe the behavior of a pull configuration, you will notice that it uses the path "% Program Files% Windows Modules" - and for this reason I tend to me, that you can use. More on custom resource

In lines 7 later - .. 12 of [File] see citrixFolder resource that I have shown in previous articles

In lines 14 to 31 is something new Good. The resource script.

This is a utility resource that fills a gap when there is no other resource available to perform your actions. If you use the script resource, write essentially a mini custom resource -. It has all the same basic requirements of a custom resource provider

In this case, I have the Web Client'm using the XenDesktop media to the% download program% path I defined with [File] citrixFolder. You might also notice that there is a dependency on this earlier resource to ensure that the download path exists before

lines. 33-39 Use the archive resource. Here I define the way that I know that the ZIP (previous function) is present, and the goal I want it withdrawn.

If you are running the Verbose switch when configuring the application you will find something interesting behavior with this notice provider. The archive provider actually opens the ZIP, reads each file and checks the destination of the existence of the file. If a file is present, it will not be extracted, if it is not present it is extracted. This is just a little insight into the thinking how desired state works and what it means to apply a configuration

lines. 41 - 50 to the package of resources. This resource is used to install or uninstall packages. It is centric to MSI packages, but it can also be used with .exe packages. The installer must support automatic installation. Also, as you can see, I left the ProductId empty -. This is a feature of MSI packages, so I had to define it in this way

rows 52 to 57 are the reason for the import DscResource. Within this module is the provider xRemoteFile. This resource allows me to use a URI as the source. I define the source file and my goal - and that is my license file exactly where my license server is the default path. Ready to go!

Why did not I use this instead of the script extension? Good question. It's because I'm downloading the file the script resource is too large and using the download fails at 1.7 Gb in a very reliable manner (it's actually a very old mistake).

This is it. The hardest part is getting the infrastructure work the media and files get delivered.

But honestly, is MSFT working on this problem. Have you heard of or OneGet PSGet? OneGet is all about the packages, packages that could be used by DSC. PSGet is about PowerShell modules. And, you can set up your own internal version, if you do not trust the public repositories. But the nice thing is this; ISVs can publish packages to OneGet - and their customers only points to it and before it, that the application to know is downloaded and installed. Really nice delivery method -. Almost like yum for Windows

I live in a software-defined world, and I'm a Software Defined girls -

I am of a generation that was "born digital". We grew up with the Internet, mobile phones and self-checkout machines all around us. Software has transformed many of our daily tasks and help us to make it faster and easier. If others could pick up the phone to make a reservation for dinner, we turn on Open Table. Instead of someone to ask for directions, we ask Siri or Google. We do not see our favorite movies on DVD, we stream from Netflix or Hulu.

technology our lives at an incredible rate changes us access and visibility in the world to give around us that we never had before. And while there have begun our personal lives can of conversion, we have grown up and started with the workforce dominated so now we expect the same kind of ease and simplicity in our work life. But what does this mean for corporate IT?

Well first of all, ease of use is the key when it comes to delivering enterprise software. Gone are the days when a company laptop me enough I configured for my work need already with all applications. These days we have more computing power in your pocket with tablets and mobile phones, as we. Found in the computers of 10-15 years And more important than power, we have our selection of Apps! There are literally an app for almost everything you can imagine. If the applications that you give your employees are bulky and have poor user experience, they will find another way to get the job done and cut out of the loop.

Does this mean that it raises their hands and can govern anarchy? Of course not. Safety is an equally important area, since some of the more nefarious, tech-savvy in our generation have turned their skills to hack. Security challenges and risks are growing at an all time high and continue. It seems like every other week there is a new large company is hacked, share critical company information in the world. IT has to focus compliant and protected in maintaining their organization, that to ensure the critical and sensitive data is not leaked, go lost or stolen.

Alright, so we have two seemingly mutually exclusive concepts plagued enterprise IT end-user experience on the one hand and security on the other side. Well, that's the beauty of technology, while it brings with it a whole new set of problems, it is here alike is the day to save. This is where we see the software-defined work come into play. Just as our personal lives are increasingly become digital, the way we work, is following suit. Physical offices, desktops, networks and clients meeting rooms are always virtual - are converted with software so that we adopt a mobile workstation that works for us, while IT deployment, the control they need,

companies on the whole. World use their business mobility and to transform, whether they know it or not, they are moving towards a truly software-defined workspace. Listen to Citrix CEO Mark Templeton describe the rise of software-defined workspace, then learn how your business take advantage of these companies can take mobility trends to reinvent the way you work.

Citrix IMA support back, allowing users to XenApp 6.5 to fix (IMA) sessions with advanced features in Director 7.6. Apart from a short list of available functions of Director 7.6 with IMA architecture to provide, I have created this post to detail and outline each feature

Features :.

• Activity Manager for XenApp 6.5
• Delegated Admin support
• Shadow Session
• machine detail area
• Session Details panel
• Personalization panel
• HDX panel

Global user session search about XenDesktop sites and farms XenApp:

Director 7.6 now helps search Administrators user sessions via XenDesktop sites, and XenApp farms. This feature allows administrators to obtain all sessions for users in a search session. We also quickly switch between sessions made it convenient

. Note: Director 7.6 supports three types of search: Find user, machine and endpoint. XenApp sessions are supported only "user" search

ActivityManager .:

Director 7.6 now shows different applications and the process list on a XenApp server for a user session running the Windows task Manager to imitate. As an administrator, you can close an application or kill the process remotely. to help one of the most important applications, slow applications can be diagnosed when a user, the help desk calls that session interactions complain slowly. Now, administrators can drill down to a process, the high resource consumption and kill them much needed resources freely

Director 7.6 supports XenApp administrators in addition to full administrator role delegated. Full Admin, View Only Admin and User Admin are supporting the types of administrators using the Delegated Admin Support function. Permissions for each admin can type (see product documentation) are configured.

Director 7.6 now allows administrators to mirror user sessions. This feature helps administrators diagnose problems quickly and get a direct view into user sessions. Admins also have provided access to appropriate checks. To enable this feature, Microsoft Remote Assistance in XA servers should be enabled. Here is the link that you install and enable Remote Assistance on Windows Server 08 R2 helps. See

The user details view that gives an eye bird view the user's session. This view shows all information about the user session as session Equipment details, the farm name and the machine OU. It also helps to find the client computer name and IP from which the session was started, the session state and the total time for the meeting on the current status.

allows Personalization Panel us to locate the user profile. The registration period panel displays the logon time (although the registration period chart is not displayed for XenApp sessions). Finally, the HDX-panel displays the status of each channel HDX. For more details on troubleshooting, the administrator can click on one of the channel symbols

Installation WMIProvider on XA Server .:

Thus Director retrieve data from XA 6.5 server sessions to the administrator must install a WMIProvider on XenApp 6.5 servers. This can be found in the DVD folder / support / DirectorWMIProvider. Once this is installed, make sure that the WinRM is enabled. This can by running the

Winrm qc

command The expected output is done:

C: > winrm qc [1945019

WinRM service is already running on this computer.

WinRM is already set up for remote management on this computer.

configuration WinRM permissions for XA-Server: This Director retrieve the information from the XA-Server

, it is necessary to enable WinRM permission for administrators. These details are described in our edocs. We have two types of permissions:

(1) To view the information from the XA-Server obtained in Director.

ConfigRemoteMgmt.exe / configwinrmuser Domain Name

ConfigRemoteMgmt.exe / configwinrmuser domain Helpdesk User Group : This can be achieved by running the following command

(2) to enable operations in the session. The operations are actions such as end-use, end process, etc. This can be achieved by running the following command:

ConfigRemoteMgmt.exe / configwinrmuser Domain Name / All

ConfigRemoteMgmt.exe / configwinrmuser domain Helpdesk User Group / All

How to configure in Director 7.6 XA Server
