The Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) is one of the largest and most renowned medical centers in Germany. Each year, approximately 80,000 patients are treated on a full-time and part-time basis in its specialist clinics, and more than 1,000,000 patients are treated on an outpatient basis. The Heidelberg campus unites scientific institutes and clinics of the UKHD, offers rich opportunities for collaboration with faculties of life and human sciences of the university, and maintains established cooperations with internationally renowned extra-university large-scale research institutions. The increasing complexity and the rising demands on the IT infrastructure in the healthcare sector require reliable and efficient management of the IT landscape. In the context of the UKHD, it is of decisive importance that operational and clinical applications are always available and run without disruption to ensure optimal patient care and smooth operation.
