Case Study: Johnson Memorial Hospital achieves resilient, cost‑effective IT and improved patient care with Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Johnson Memorial Hospital re-architects IT Infrastructure

Johnson Memorial Hospital faced an aging, siloed IT environment that could not reliably support its MEDITECH applications, meet healthcare regulatory requirements, or provide robust disaster recovery. To address escalating maintenance costs, poor rack and cooling infrastructure, and isolated EMC SANs, the hospital partnered with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and leveraged HPE Converged Infrastructure components (including HPE 3PAR StoreServ F400s, HPE ProLiant servers and HPE StoreOnce backup) alongside MEDITECH solutions.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise implemented a converged, virtualized design with a primary and secondary data center, a single HPE 3PAR storage architecture, VMware virtualization and automated backups, coordinating critical application migrations. The HPE solution eradicated unplanned downtime, enabled automatic backups every six hours, reduced radiology storage needs from 40 TB to 30 TB, and delivered measurable cost savings (about $50k per year for one major application, or roughly $250k over five years), while freeing IT to focus on strategic initiatives.
