Case Study: Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals achieves scalable fundraising growth with NetApp FlexPod private cloud

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Supports Goal to Quadruple Fundraising by 2022 with Private Cloud on FlexPod

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN) is a Salt Lake City–based nonprofit that raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals across North America. To meet rising needs and a goal to quadruple annual fundraising to $1 billion by 2022, CMN needed to replace aging servers that caused poor application performance and limited scalability, which threatened its ability to expand fundraising and support hospitals.

CMN implemented a private cloud on a FlexPod Datacenter (NetApp storage, Cisco UCS/Nexus, VMware) with CDW professional services. The consolidated platform improved uptime and application performance, enabled rapid deployment of new services, and provides seamless, scalable capacity—helping CMN enhance fundraising effectiveness and stay on track to meet its growth and support goals.
