Case Study: Unity Healthcare achieves real-time EHR access and 7:1 data reduction with Pure Storage

Unity Healthcare uses Pure for its EHR application

Unity Healthcare, a 650‑employee, physician‑owned provider in Lafayette, Indiana, relies on Allscripts EHR and virtual desktop infrastructure to deliver patient care. As the EHR grew in complexity it began to strain the legacy SAN and SQL Server environment, causing clinicians and back‑office staff to wait as long as 45 seconds for charts and reports and overtaxing a small IT team responsible for capacity planning and storage management.

With help from channel partner SIS, Unity deployed a Pure Storage FlashArray, which delivered immediate, “night‑and‑day” performance improvements. The upgrade cut storage footprint through 7:1 data reduction, eliminated storage‑related slowdowns for clinicians and billing staff, simplified administration for IT, freed capacity for other initiatives, and reduced ongoing CAPEX/OPEX while improving vendor support.
