Case Study: Large Non-profit Healthcare System in Portland achieves faster imaging, improved patient care, and reduced IT burden with Nutanix

Large Non-profit Healthcare System in Portland Improves Patient Care and Lightens IT Load with Nutanix

A large non‑profit healthcare system in Portland with more than 1,100 beds across multiple hospitals faced growing performance and management problems: its legacy three‑tier infrastructure couldn’t keep up with Synapse imaging and EHR workloads, producing extreme latencies (images taking minutes to load) that risked time‑sensitive care and placed heavy demands on IT staff.

The provider migrated critical applications to a Nutanix hyperconverged platform (AOS, Prism, Nutanix Cloud Manager), using automation and Nutanix Move to virtualize and consolidate systems. As a result, image load times dropped from roughly 45 seconds to ~15 seconds and cardiology studies from 10–15 minutes to 30–60 seconds, provisioning and management became much faster, administrator effort declined, and dependable support improved system availability and clinical responsiveness.
