Case Study: Premier Physician Services achieves fault-tolerant medical document storage with Caringo

Premier Physician Services Relies on Caringo to Provide Storage for Emergency Care Services

Premier Physician Services, a provider of emergency care services, needed reliable storage for millions of medical document images. Their previous storage solution had become too slow and costly, with backups taking up to four days. They turned to vendor Caringo to implement a more fault-tolerant storage infrastructure with automated retention management.

Caringo implemented a solution using its Swarm object storage software in a two-cluster configuration for production and disaster recovery. This provided Premier with 100 percent uptime, a significant reduction in recurring costs, and a doubling of storage capacity. The open API allowed for seamless integration with Premier's custom systems, and the solution automatically managed disk failures and data replication without service disruption.
