Full Story:
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced that Molina
Healthcare (NYSE: MOH), a FORTUNE 500, multi-state health care
organization, is updating its data center with VCE™ Vblock® System
740s converged infrastructure and the added power of all-flash.
This new architecture will improve several critical areas including
service deployment and the infrastructure that supports its
high-volume call center. Over the past five years, Molina has
experienced rapid growth, moving onto the Fortune 500 list to its
current number 201 spot. With all-flash Vblock Systems it gains
critical agility and speed for the IT organization to quickly
respond to increasing business demands as the company prepares for
its next phase of growth. The simplified converged infrastructure
environment also allows Molina to invest in business initiatives
versus keeping the lights on.
Molina chose all-flash combined with the intrinsic benefits of
VCE converged infrastructure to take full advantage of the superior
performance, density and economies of scale offered by cutting-edge
flash storage media. Savings and benefits include:
- 30% reduction in engineering and operational efforts as the
performance and capacity for each application will be rightly sized
with the right storage resources. This also significantly decreases
the chances of scheduling change controls for maintaining the
hardware as well as solving and fixing issues as a result of
outages.
- Reduced deployment time for new infrastructure, measured in
hours rather than weeks, allowing Molina to increase the speed of
implementation, meeting key business objectives
- An estimated 18% savings in cooling and energy costs and
eliminated need to invest in additional data center space from
reduced footprint of five data center tiles
- Freed up 24% of critical data center space to accelerate new
projects
- A new standard response time of less than 0.5 ms for any
extreme workloads to ensure consistency and high availability for
all applications
- Increased CapEx savings with an all-flash platform lifecycle of
7 -10 years
A key growth driver of the business is Molina's growing
enrollment, which in turn has contributed to higher call volumes. .
The new dedicated infrastructure platform based on converged
infrastructure will scale to support the continued growth while
also providing the resources for new technologies, enabling
Molina's members and providers to experience reliable and quality
service in the call centers. The new platform allows significant
increases over the existing capacity and provides the scale
required to meet business needs:
- 350% capacity increase in total phone capacity
- 400% capacity increase in total member call center agents
- 570% capacity increase for inbound simultaneous call
capacity
The Vblock System 740 utilizes EMC VMAX All Flash arrays that
are engineered specifically to capitalize on the performance of
flash and the economics of today's latest large-capacity SSDs,
introducing technology, such as Write Folding that improves flash
durability while simultaneously delivering peak performance.
Rick Hopfer, Chief Information
Officer, Molina
Healthcare
"During the past three years Molina has
added over 2.3 million members. Supporting this kind of growth
demands an infrastructure that scales, is reliable and cost
effective. Through VCE converged infrastructure with all-flash
technology, we are able to leverage a high workload demanding
application that can run mission-critical data with a faster
processing time. This can save time, resources and prevents outages
that result from data overload."
