Charlotte Radiology Trusts StorTrends SAN Arrays From AMI

Charlotte Radiology PA, one of the largest radiology groups in the nation, has trusted StorTrends from American Megatrends, Inc. to provide multiple SAN arrays to support the clinic’s need for storage capacity and protection.

The center attends to thousands of patients each year in their 13 breast imaging sites, two vein and vascular centers and four free-standing imaging centers in which they collect patient data.

The IT manager, Tony Maynard, was relieved when an unexpected production SAN failure happened during a StorTrends live in-house demo unit. Moments after the incident occurred, the center put the demo unit into their production environment.

“Right then and there, something that was previously taking 20 minutes to complete was now taking six,” says Maynard.

Promptly, Maynard made the decision to rely on StorTrends as the primary storage provider.

Today, it is utilizing over 38TB of storage capacity within the arrays as their centralized storage for database, email, imaging, testing and VDI.

Not only is Maynard satisfied with the price and quality of the StorTrends storage arrays, but he was humbled by the attitude and assistance provided to Charlotte Radiology from the team.

Maynard says: “I cannot stress enough how good the customer service is. The StorTrends team has done nothing but accommodate our needs and bend over backwards for us. Everything has performed as they described and I have never had the feeling of being over-promised or under-delivered.“
