When Minutes Matter and Images Must Never Be Lost

One of our medical clients contacted us after experiencing repeated slowdowns while uploading radiology images. Over 2 terabytes of diagnostic data were being generated each week—and the legacy storage solution simply couldn’t keep up.

Images took minutes to appear on screen. Archived files were inconsistently indexed. Worst of all? They were paying over $70,000 per month for a cloud storage solution that still couldn't guarantee access speed—or total control of their patient records.

That’s when they called NetPros.

Here’s What We Found:

• 3 failing drives in a critical RAID array
• No redundancy for archived image sets
• Vendor software out of support for 4+ years
• Daily backups had not completed successfully in over a month

And What We Did:

• Rebuilt their on-premise infrastructure using ProxMox ZFS architecture
• Tiered NVMe, SSD, & HDD storage for rapid access to recent studies
• Secure 600+ TB local archive with offsite backup on two types of media
• Installed HIPAA-compliant, policy-driven monitoring across the system

Within days, their imaging system was faster than ever, with instant access, complete control, and reliable redundancy—all at a fraction of their previous monthly cost.

Cloud computing is great—until you realize you’re renting access to your own data at $70,000+ per month.

We analyzed our client’s needs—steady traffic, high volume, zero tolerance for delays—and found cloud was overkill for what they needed. Worse, it was too slow when it mattered most.

By building a secure, high-speed local system backed by optional offsite sync, we gave them the speed of an in-house network and the disaster recovery of cloud—without the runaway cost.

Here’s what they have now:

• • Instant access to years of MRI, CT, and ultrasound data
• • Redundant, local ownership of data with optional cloud backup
• • Smart tiered storage with blazing-fast retrieval speeds
• • Lower monthly operating costs
• • Full HIPAA compliance and monitoring

When patient outcomes depend on data access, your system should respond the moment you need it—without fail, without delay, without question.

Your data. Your system. Your peace of mind.

Let’s make your infrastructure match the precision of your care.
