Coalese Corporation - Raven Features: Deployment Options

Raven Features: Deployment Options

Raven can be deployed on a range of Coalese hardware platforms, thereby providing a wide range of scalability.

Raven Zulu Appliance

At the smaller end, intended for minimal-IT, grassroots installations at the clinic level are Coalese Zulu Integration Appliances. The Zulu Appliances allow for rapid implementation, require minimal or no IT support/installation resources and are a very affordable solution for more modest clinic-level deployments. Zulu Appliances come preconfigured with Coalese Raven Collaboration & Access All that is required is to plug the Zulu appliance into a standard wall power socket and connect to the local network.

Raven Zulu Zar Server

For higher-volume, multi-clinic, hosted/ASP scenarios and for wider PCN/Regional requirements for cross-clinic sharing/views, Coalese offers the highly scalable Zar Server line. Building on extensible, fault-tolerant blade server technology from leading hardware suppliers, Zar Servers can handle the most demanding loads and performance requirements. Zar Servers can start out with only 1 or two blades, and grow incrementally to support mainframe class loads.

Coalese Raven can also be deployed as a “virtual” appliance, requiring no new nor dedicated hardware, and which can be easily deployed on hosted/ASP provider infrastructure using industry standard VMWare ESX capabilities. This provides the ultimate in deployment and IT operations management flexibility for hosted environments.

Clinics that have deployed their EMR system using a Hosted/ASP-based model may also want to consider using the Raven collaboration and patient record access tool as a critical backup capability. If Raven is deployed on a Coalese Appliance physically located at the clinic, physicians can still access patient records using Raven, should the main hosted EMR system become unavailable for any reason (system outages, communications infrastructure failure, etc).
