This Connecticut regional healthcare provider includes a hospital and outpatient surgery, occupational medicine, physical therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, and cancer centers. Johnson Health wanted to replace its fibre channel SAN to simplify storage management and bring it in-house to support growth, flexibility, and online data recovery.
"With fibre channel, it’s difficult to expand, so you try to figure out what you’ll need in the future – and often end up with too little or too much. It’s not efficient. But the PS Series architecture scales so easily, I can buy when I need capacity – and that helps me better manage my budget as well as my storage."
- Mark Rivard, Network Systems Specialist, Johnson Health Network
Challenge
Fibre Channel SAN complex, difficult to expand and not providing required flexibility nor meeting the desire for online backups for quick recovery
Solution
In-house storage management with online backups and ‘pay as you go’ scalability – all achieved without specialized skill requirements
