Case Study: King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital achieves 24/7 high availability and faster data access with NetApp

King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital Relies on NetApp Solutions to Match Medical and IT Service Excellence

King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH) is a leading tertiary ophthalmic center in Saudi Arabia with over 1,200 staff and a fully digitized clinical environment. Facing rapidly growing medical imaging data, rising user expectations, and new workloads such as VDI, the hospital needed higher scalability, stronger 24/7 availability, and faster, more reliable recovery than its existing storage could provide.

KKESH implemented two NetApp FAS systems in a MetroCluster configuration (synchronously mirroring data across two data centers over 40Gb fiber) and adopted NetApp Snapshot, Flash Cache, and deduplication. The solution delivered continuous 24/7 access, faster restores, simplified management and upgrades, about 25% reduced data through deduplication, and smooth operations—creating the scalable foundation for VDI, VoIP, a medical library and other new IT projects.
