We recently had the opportunity to help the Gila River Healthcare (GRH) system completely transform their IT computing environment. GRH is a Sacaton, AZ based Native American health system that serves a population of over 26,000 and has over 350,000 ambulatory visits each year.
ASG successfully transformed their sprawling server farm into an efficient, scalable, virtualized data center. With VMware virtualization, we’ve achieved a 6:1 server consolidation ratio, improving overall efficiency and cost significantly.
In addition, we designed and implemented a storage area network (SAN) that provides tiering, redundancy, replication & archiving capabilities.
Now, we’re implementing desktop virtualization, with HP thin clients, WMware View, and Citrix XenApp/Desktop. This single sign-on computing infrastructure is expected to reduce GRH’s desktop PC helpdesk tickets by 80%.
