Modern organizations rely on fast, accurate, and unified data to drive analytics and operational decision‑making. Yet many still struggle—especially those with legacy systems that hold large volumes of transactional and unstructured data. Silos, outdated architectures, and incompatible formats make true interoperability difficult.
Rhapsody solves this challenge by integrating data across cloud applications and on‑premise systems, ensuring users always have access to complete, current, and trustworthy information.
Why Hybrid Integration Matters
When evaluating integration solutions, it’s essential to confirm that vendors can support all your data types—structured, unstructured, and transactional. Increasingly, organizations are adopting hybrid integration models that support both on‑premise and cloud environments.
Hybrid data warehousing enables organizations to:
Leverage existing legacy systems
Adopt modern cloud technologies
Retrieve data quickly
Scale flexibly
Deploy solutions efficiently
This approach provides the agility needed to share data across environments, manage cloud adoption at your own pace, and prepare for future modernization—without abandoning on‑premise investments.
Rhapsody as a Service (RaaS)
Rhapsody’s full interoperability capabilities are now available through Rhapsody as a Service (RaaS), a cloud‑hosted deployment model running on leading platforms such as AWS and IBM Cloud®. RaaS delivers the same powerful integration engine with added benefits of cloud scalability, responsiveness, and cost efficiency.
Organizations gain:
RaaS positions healthcare organizations for long‑term success by combining proven interoperability with the advantages of cloud architecture.
Key Benefits of Cloud‑Based Integration
Cost‑Effective Modernization
Maintaining on‑premise infrastructure is expensive, especially as hardware ages and software evolves. RaaS eliminates or reduces hardware requirements and provides automatic access to the latest Rhapsody updates—lowering total cost of ownership.
Predictable, Competitive Pricing
With RaaS, organizations pay only for the resources they use. This subscription‑based model converts large capital expenditures into manageable operational expenses.
Elastic Scalability
RaaS scales storage, compute, and features on demand—without provisioning new servers or rapidly training staff. This flexibility allows IT teams to focus on higher‑value initiatives.
Enhanced Security & Compliance
Rhapsody employs dedicated security teams, best‑practice controls, and comprehensive auditing. RaaS environments meet major regulatory requirements, including HIPAA and GDPR, providing built‑in compliance and reducing organizational risk.
Reliable, Always‑Available Data
RaaS stores data across multiple regional locations, ensuring access even if a local site is compromised. High‑availability deployments, automatic failover, 24/7 monitoring, and on‑call engineers ensure continuous uptime—critical for hospitals, labs, and emergency services.
