Newark, Calif. – March 11, 2014 – Tegile Systems, the leading provider of flash-driven storage arrays for virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, today announced that Mary Lanning Healthcare has selected Zebi arrays from Tegile as its EMC Clarion replacement.

Mary Lanning Healthcare is the major medical facility serving the residents of central Nebraska. The complex includes a state-of-the-art hospital, a comprehensive range of medical services and clinics and employs a staff of nearly 1,000. The facility has approximately 12,000 emergency room visits and 5200 inpatient admissions annually.

Mary Lanning operates a highly virtualized IT environment, with VMware as the server hypervisor and VMware View powering a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) rollout. The company’s primary storage is virtualized with DataCore Software’s SANsymphony™.  The primary application is McKesson Corp.’s Paragon®, a comprehensive hospital information system, including a fully integrated clinical and financial system, built on the Microsoft® SQL server platform.

The health center had been operating with an EMC Clariion CX3 Fibre Channel array as its main storage system. The addition of SANsymphony virtualization software gave them more functionality and flexibility with its storage but also exposed the limitations of the Clariion array, according to Aaron Young, director of IT.

It’s always great to see how customers are using the technology and to understand the benefits realised in doing so, in this case a medical facility, not only is the performance they achieved impressive, it highlighted their satisfaction in working with the Tegile team which can be just as important as the technology during implementation of a new technology or solution. Very cool, do check it out.
