Summary

Witness a transformative healthcare IT journey as Legacy Health overcomes a major infrastructure challenge with their Epic EMR system. When a disrupted VMware upgrade threatened operations, a powerful collaboration between Pure Storage and Nutanix emerged—delivering breakthrough performance and redefining their infrastructure strategy.

Facing exponential data growth and uptime issues on Microsoft Hypervisor, Legacy Health planned an upgrade to the Pure XL Series with VMware. But Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware forced an urgent pivot. Drawing on successful experiences with Nutanix at smaller sites, they turned to the Nutanix hypervisor as an alternative—sparking a deep engineering partnership with Pure Storage.

The resulting solution—Pure Storage FlashArray with NVMe/TCP technology powering Epic on Nutanix—unleashed unprecedented bandwidth and dramatically reduced latency for mission-critical workloads.

By March, Legacy Health had fully transitioned its Epic CACHE production to the HP Compute/Pure XL/Nutanix cluster, exceeding all performance expectations. This wasn’t just a technical fix—it marked a strategic transformation. Through innovation and partnership, Legacy Health ensured fast, reliable access to patient records, preventing diagnostic delays and empowering clinicians. This session will inspire IT leaders to think differently—embracing modern architectures and collaborative problem-solving to overcome complex infrastructure challenges in healthcare.
