Integration and Migration of U.S Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technical Application and Air Force Medical Applications Virtualization System

This paper described and discussed the systems integration and design proposal for an actual projectthat was implemented by the United States Air Force. The material is neither classified nor proprietary and isavailable openly. Server virtualization, mobile device proliferation, and software-defined networks are nowdemanding new technologies, products, and architectural approaches, especially in the data center. Thispaper demonstrated the process of migrating US Armed Forces current client based software over to avirtualized solution. It incorporated those best practices that we have utilized in order to obtain maximizedcooperation and success. The U.S. Air Force has decided that it wants to move its current client basedelectronic health record to a virtual server based program. Its reasons for change are many. The desiredresults will be reduced delay in program operation, fewer dropped sessions and greater accessibility to thesystem with alternative input devices and diagnostic equipment.
