Case Study: North York General Hospital achieves 98% faster Cerner reporting and lower operating costs with Pure Storage

Pure Storage Delivers a Clean Bill of Health for NYGH's Infrastructure

North York General Hospital, a leading community academic hospital in Toronto, needed reliable, high-performance storage to support its mission‑critical Cerner EHR while operating on a seven‑year capital refresh cycle and constrained budgets. Its legacy spinning‑disk systems incurred high maintenance fees and couldn’t deliver the performance, snapshots or predictable long‑term costs the IT team required.

After an exhaustive proof‑of‑concept, NYGH deployed a Pure Storage FlashArray//M50 and Evergreen™ upgrade model, gaining inline compression, deduplication, continuous snapshots and encryption. The move cut report runtimes by up to 98%, delivered sub‑millisecond latencies, dramatically reduced storage footprint, shortened cutover time, lowered operating and maintenance costs (eliminating years of legacy maintenance), and improved clinician productivity and business insight.
