About the Person
Paul Sikora was also chief technology officer of Highmark. He held a similar position at UPMC before joining Highmark in December 2011. Sikora is clearly star material for his remarkable virtualization and enterprise transformation project at UPMC, a sprawling $8 billion network of 20 hospitals. From a project that began in 2005, Sikora and his colleagues created a robust private cloud that standardized and shrank UPMC's enterprise platform for applications, databases and analytics from 167 servers to just 14. Those 14 servers run more than 500 virtual UNIX instances. For Windows and Linux, Sikora runs VMware virtualization to support 1,200 Windows instances on 22 servers, replacing 64 full racks of equipment with two-and-a-quarter racks.
