Case Study: CGH Medical Center validates future storage performance with Virtana Storage Load Testing

CGH Medical Center validates storage performance in 1 week with Virtana, cutting response time to 0.91 ms

CGH Medical Center, a progressive acute care facility, needed to upgrade its expensive and aging storage infrastructure to support bandwidth-demanding applications and future growth. To mitigate the risk of deploying new, more cost-efficient storage arrays into its production data center, CGH engaged Virtana and used its Storage Load Testing service to validate the performance of the proposed solution.

Virtana implemented a comprehensive performance validation by extracting a representative production workload and testing it on the proposed storage arrays at scaled levels. The results confirmed the new system could handle current and future growth, showing significantly lower and steadier latency compared to the old environment. This gave CGH full confidence in their purchase decision, ensuring the upgrade would support workload growth for years to come and representing money well spent for the project.
