Virtualization in Healthcare: Optimizing Data Security, Efficiency, and Scalability through Virtualized Infrastructure
Raja Venkata Sandeep Reddy Davu [5]
Abstract: Virtualization's vital role in healthcare is examined in this study, which focuses on data security, efficiency, and scalability. Healthcare IT needs virtualization to stay up with data and application complexity. Virtualization improves resource use, data security, and scalability to meet expanding demands. Patient data is sensitive and healthcare standards are rigorous, thus data security is crucial. Hypervisor attacks and VM sprawl increase security concerns in virtualized environments, notwithstanding their benefits. This study recommends data encryption, tight access controls, and constant monitoring for virtualized systems. Virtualization simplifies IT management, lowes hardware costs, and speeds up application and service deployment, improving operational effectiveness. Healthcare companies have shown virtualization improves efficiency and quality. Scalability is important because healthcare businesses manage unpredictable workloads and growing data volumes. The study discusses automated resource allocation and cloud-based virtualization for scalability. Scalable virtualized healthcare systems show how virtualization can adapt to modern healthcare needs. Integration, performance, and staffing issues are common virtualization deployment challenges. The future of healthcare virtualization includes how blockchain, AI, and edge computing may improve performance and security. Regulators will oversee virtualized healthcare's future to ensure standards and compliance. This study concludes by reviewing healthcare virtualization's pros, cons, and future prospects.
