Hospital deploys Pure Storage all-flash storage for EHR, VDI
After finding that even a hybrid flash array failed to prevent its most important application from slowing to a crawl during activity spikes, Riverview Hospital switched to an all solid-state array to reduce latency and handle writes faster.
Riverview Hospital is a full-service county hospital in Noblesville, Ind., with 154 beds, 20 off-site facilities and nearly 1,200 employees.
Early this year, the hospital switched to an 11 TB Pure Storage FlashArray to increase the IOPS available for a few critical applications, mainly its Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc.'s Pro electronic healthcare records (EHR) system, a 550-seat VMware Inc. View 4.6 virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployment, and Citrix Systems Inc. XenApp virtual servers.
