Case Study: Mid Coast Hospital improves desktop performance and reduces storage costs with Liquidware

Modernizing Desktop Delivery in Healthcare

Mid Coast Hospital needed to stand up a virtual desktop infrastructure for a new facility in about 90 days, despite limited in-house experience with desktop virtualization. The hospital wanted to cut PC downtime, improve remote access for physicians and staff, reduce desktop support, lower infrastructure costs, and improve performance and the user experience.

Working with Liquidware, GreenPages, and Atlantis Computing, Mid Coast Hospital deployed VMware View on Cisco UCS with non-persistent linked clones, ProfileUnity FlexApp for user personalization, and Atlantis ILIO for storage optimization. The setup reduced required storage capacity by 90%, helped the hospital deploy 70 linked clones per server in 12 minutes, and improved desktop reliability and launch speed while lowering total cost of ownership.
