Technically Epic

Epic Technical Overview with Epic staff

Direct from GBMC’s own data center, here’s exciting news! For the first time, Epic is no longer a theoretical product or pretty screenshot. Instead, GBMC now has its very own Epic install deployed to our own servers and storage!

What does this mean for you? Great question! It means that GBMC officially has its own version of Epic and that our dedicated build team is beginning to tailor the 2015 foundation platform to match GBMC’s unique workflow needs.

Although a fully customized Epic release is the system GBMC deserves (and will get in October 2016), it’s not the one it needs right now.




The first non-Epic staff member who can comment to this blog post with the movie that the preceding line is taken from wins a prize!

Also, reflecting the importance of the Epic platform to GBMC’s strategic vision, the technical team is deploying cutting-edge hardware that best ensures that the system’s performance matches its many capabilities.

Another exciting element that we'll be deploying with Epic is a new method of proactively watching how the entire system is performing in real-time. We'll have detailed metrics of what should be occurring and a tool to identify, at any given moment, when storage, servers, clients or other equipment is meeting our target thresholds.

Check out some of these fun numbers from the Epic Tech. Team!

Stay tuned for our next post where you’ll learn more about our Epic hardware!
