Case Study: Mary Lanning Healthcare achieves 4X storage performance and 75% VDI footprint reduction with DataCore Software

Tegile Systems Rescues Mary Lanning Healthcare From Cost, Bottlenecks of Outdated EMC Storage

Mary Lanning Healthcare, the primary medical center serving central Nebraska, struggled with storage performance and rising support costs from an aging EMC Clariion array while running a highly virtualized environment (VMware and VMware View VDI). Facing performance bottlenecks and budgetary pressure, Mary Lanning evaluated alternatives and selected Tegile Systems’ hybrid storage solution (HA2100 array with JA2100 expansion, IntelliFlash-powered) to replace the EMC gear.

Tegile Systems delivered and remotely configured the HA2100/JA2100 pair in 16 days, providing a hybrid array that integrates with DataCore SANsymphony and met the hospital’s five‑year support and capacity goals. The Tegile deployment produced a 4x performance gain (32,000 IOPS vs. 8,000 previously), reduced VDI storage footprint by 75% and server virtualization footprint by more than 50%, and delivered predictable support costs and faster, more reliable operations.
