Case Study: Laser Spine Institute achieves up to 95% faster patient record access and simplified storage management with Pure Storage

FlashStack Strengthens Laser Spine Institute's Commitment to Exceptional Patient Care

Laser Spine Institute, a leader in minimally invasive spine surgery with seven centers and over 60,000 patients treated, was hampered by an aging spinning‑disk storage system that couldn’t keep up with virtualized applications. Clinicians faced slow access to patient records and medical images, VDI provisioning was difficult, and IT spent excessive time managing complex storage and performing forced migrations instead of supporting clinical care.

Working with Presidio, the institute deployed a FlashStack solution (Cisco UCS + Pure Storage), migrating 100 TB in under two weeks with zero user impact. Patient record open times fell by up to 95% and latencies dropped to sub‑millisecond levels, while effective capacity rose from 100 TB to 271 TB with 2.8:1 data reduction. The change simplified management, freed IT to focus on innovation, cut rack space and power/cooling costs dramatically, and delivered a projected two‑year ROI.
