Philips deploys AWS Outposts to support local cloud operations
Philips is utilizing AWS Outposts to extend cloud capabilities to over 70,000 on-premises servers, facilitating localized data processing for healthcare technology.
Health technology firm Philips has implemented Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outposts to integrate cloud infrastructure with its on-premises data centers. The deployment, which spans more than 70,000 servers across 1,200 locations, allows the company to execute cloud-based services and APIs locally.
The adoption of AWS Outposts addresses specific operational requirements for low latency and localized data management, which are critical for the healthcare systems provided by the company. By maintaining AWS infrastructure on-site, Philips aims to create a consistent hybrid environment for its IT staff.
This infrastructure update is designed to improve the performance of technology used by healthcare providers. By bridging the gap between centralized cloud services and edge computing, Philips expects to maintain operational efficiency across its distributed facility network.
