VMware Ready Servers 

Many hospitals are managing costs and improving IT efficiency through virtualization. By replacing the “one server, one application” model with a virtual server environment, they are able to reduce infrastructure costs, lower energy consumption, and speed responsiveness to disaster recovery, among other benefits.

Omnicell has responded to virtualization goals by certifying our server applications as VMware Ready, seamlessly giving you all the benefits of virtualization while maintaining the same functionality of your Omnicell pharmacy, medication and supply dispensing systems.

VMware Ready means Omnicell systems are ready to run your mission critical business applications in a virtual environment, and assures that our products will fit into the long-term growth plans of your virtualization investment.

Of course, we continue to support physical server environments as well. The flexibility to meet a range of customer needs has helped make Omnicell a preferred partner for medication and supply dispensing automation.

The Omnicell server is the heart of every Omnicell automation system. It manages the day-to-day operations of the automated medication and supply dispensing systems throughout the hospital enterprise, and gives managers access to inventory use and other essential reports.
