Equipment and systems lifecycles require refreshment for reliable function and performance. The statement is especially true with technology. Prismworks Technology has extensive experience with integrating new products and migrating valuable data. Making these changes with no material effect on business operations is a Prismworks specialty.

When The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) decided it was time to refresh its vSphere environment, they trusted long-time partner Prismworks to complete the job.

“Virtual infrastructure is the core of business operations. All the ‘work’ that gets done happens on the components replaced during a project like this,” said Nick Wright, Prismworks Technology Implementation Engineer & Technical Lead.

The project required the installation of two new vSphere hypervisors in the existing environment, migrating virtual workloads from the old hypervisors to the new, and decommissioning and disposing of the old equipment. Wright, alongside other Prismworks staff members, completed physical setup; data, network, and product configurations; and virtual workload migrations. The Prismworks team also ensured no data was lost through safe migration practices and validated backups.

Prismworks Technology Implementation Engineer & Technical Lead Nick Wright prepares the new hypervisors for installation.

HAP’s IT infrastructure supports approximately 60 staff members. As an organization committed to helping Pennsylvania improve health outcomes and provide cost-effective care, keeping its IT components maintained, available, and supported at all times is critical for business operations.

“New hardware is more efficient and offers better performance and more capacity. The customer can now double the size of their virtual estate if needed,” said Wright. “Hardware under warranty also keeps the customer in compliance with any regulatory bodies or vendor requirements.”

The Prismworks team’s 30 years of combined technical experience helped complete the project successfully and ahead of schedule. For Wright, overcoming challenges to complete the project efficiently is the best reward.

“I enjoy finding solutions for the unique challenges that different organizations present for any integration project,” said Wright. “Thanks to extensive experience and the resources Prismworks provides to both staff and customers, the project was completed successfully with zero impact to customer operations.”
