Case Study: a US-based multi-campus healthcare organization achieves independent compute and storage scaling with StoneFly Proxmox VE

US-based Multi-campus Healthcare Organization adds 60-bay capacity with StoneFly for independent Proxmox VE scaling

A US-based multi-campus healthcare organization faced challenges in migrating from a legacy hypervisor platform, as its EMR, PACS, and backup workloads had conflicting storage needs. Their existing and hyperconverged infrastructure models forced expensive overprovisioning, and performance suffered during storage maintenance, complicating HIPAA compliance. They turned to StoneFly for a solution.

StoneFly implemented its USS Proxmox VE Enterprise Appliance with a Totally Disaggregated Architecture. This separated compute, RAID processing, and storage capacity into independently scalable nodes. The results included eliminating compute overprovisioning during capacity expansion, maintaining consistent VM I/O performance during drive rebuilds, and efficiently matching each workload to an appropriate storage tier. StoneFly's solution provided a single management window and ensured HIPAA-aligned data protection without performance trade-offs.
