Case Study: CHRISTUS Health doubles MEDITECH EHR performance with DymaxIO from Condusiv Technologies

CHRISTUS Health doubles EHR speed and avoids $2M storage costs with Condusiv Technologies

CHRISTUS Health, a multinational healthcare system, faced performance issues with its MEDITECH Electronic Health Record application after virtualizing its server environment. This led to high latency, sluggish performance, and billing batch jobs that took up to 20 hours. The challenge was to improve performance without undertaking a costly and disruptive replacement of its existing SAN storage infrastructure, which would have required a significant hardware investment.

Condusiv Technologies provided its DymaxIO acceleration software as the solution. The software optimizes I/O at the OS layer, reducing I/O traffic and preventing file fragmentation. As a result, CHRISTUS Health doubled the speed of patient records, reduced a 20-hour billing job to 12 hours, and met application SLAs. Crucially, Condusiv's solution allowed the organization to avoid a planned $2 million storage hardware purchase, saving millions while dramatically improving performance across over 2,500 virtual machines.
