Case Study: JPS Health Network reduces infrastructure costs with Virtual Instruments VirtualWisdom

Virtual Instruments helps JPS Health Network reduce infrastructure costs

JPS Health Network faced rapidly growing SAN storage demands, a lean IT staff, and pressure to maintain high service levels while controlling costs. With more than 200 TB of SAN capacity growing over 40% annually, JPS turned to Virtual Instruments and its VirtualWisdom platform to gain better visibility and proactively manage infrastructure issues before they affected care.

Virtual Instruments deployed VirtualWisdom and professional services to provide predictive monitoring, faster root-cause analysis, and centralized, vendor-neutral reporting. The solution helped JPS identify and resolve four potential outage-causing problems in advance, improve staff productivity, and save nearly $100,000 per storage array by avoiding unnecessary hardware purchases.
