March 25, 2020: For this episode in our COVID-19 series, we are joined by Josh Peacock and Kyle Quinby from Sirius Healthcare to talk about scaling VDI and clinical systems. We are shifting from understanding the problem set to more solution focussed content and Kyle and Josh have done some great work in addressing how to scale systems during a time of crisis. This episode is a pragmatic discussion on this process at present and in the coming weeks, as we look at connectivity in the cloud and allowing more people in health sector to work remotely. We get into the ins and outs of this transition and the steps that Sirius has taken to allow enough runway for these changes. With so many potential hurdles and potholes, it is great to see such dedicated minds applied to the current crisis! Listeners will hear about how they are creating more bandwidth, safeguarding against the dangers of VPN connectivity and leveraging the existing systems into something workable for current needs. We finish off the chat talking about the great resources that our guests and Sirius have made available and where to find them!
