Cloud isn’t a destination.
It’s a placement decision.
Every platform pitch you hear has one answer for every workload — hyperconverged everything, or cloud everything. Real estates need one answer per workload: where do the latency, the compliance obligations, and the economics say this system should live? What healthcare and financial organizations buy from WUC is that discipline — hyperconverged, on‑prem, and cloud operated as one estate by one accountable partner, with every placement decided on evidence and revisited quarterly. Same multi‑vendor engineering depth. Sold by where each workload runs best.
Every platform pitch has one answer.
Real estates need one per workload.
A vendor selling hyperconverged sees hyperconverged workloads; a cloud provider sees cloud workloads. A partner accountable for outcomes sees latency profiles, compliance obligations, and unit economics — and places each workload where the evidence points. We do it under two principles:
Exceptional Service
Continuous monitoring, proactive maintenance, rapid issue resolution, and expert guidance that keep your infrastructure estate secure, available, and optimized — an extension of your team, measured against outcomes you can see.
Strategic Engagement
Technology initiatives aligned with business objectives through ongoing planning, governance, and continuous improvement. A partner in the room when decisions get made — not a vendor on a ticket when things break.
Where downtime is a patient-care event,
placement is a clinical decision.
In healthcare, HIPAA compliance is a purchasing criterion and downtime is measured in delayed care — which makes workload placement a clinical decision with an economics column. These are the flagship placements our practice designs and stands behind.
The Epic/EHR stack — placed by latency and law
Peak‑hour chart loads keep the EHR’s data tier on‑prem — Dell PowerMax and NetApp AFF, engineered for clinical latency, with HIPAA obligations held where the data lives. DR and burst capacity lean hybrid, with recovery rehearsed across the boundary — because the placement question is answered per tier, not per pitch.
Radiology — petabyte economics, honestly computed
An imaging archive is where cloud economics get honest: petabytes of DICOM with decades of retention and radiologists pulling priors all day. Dell PowerScale carries the active archive on‑prem where retrieval is instant and egress is free; NetApp AFF serves the PACS databases; cold tiers move to cloud where the math actually works — and we run every tier of that answer.
Representative architectures drawn from common healthcare deployments — not descriptions of specific client environments, which remain confidential. Explore the numbers in our regional hospital case study. Operations align to the HIPAA Security Rule and NIST SP 800-66r2.
Four questions decide where a workload lives.
Every placement runs on the same multi-vendor engineering depth that made WUC an OEM alternative — and the savings fund the strategy. Model your estate with the infrastructure savings calculator, or start from the four questions below:
Placement by evidence
Clinical-hour baselines and growth telemetry feed every placement decision — the workload’s measured behavior decides, not the loudest pitch in the room.
Explore performance insights → 02One pane across both
Hyperconverged, on-prem, and cloud under one accountable partner — one escalation path, one telemetry stream, one monthly report.
Explore managed services → 03HCI lifecycle discipline
Hyperconverged nodes hit EOSL like everything else — extend, refresh, or retire decided on evidence, with expansion planned before capacity forces it.
Explore lifecycle → 04Right-size before renewal
EOSL exposure and support-cost deltas computed before every renewal — so placement changes land in budget cycles, not emergency requisitions.
Check your EOSL dates →Four stages, no surprises.
- Assess. Every workload mapped — latency profile, compliance obligations, unit economics, growth curve — and every current placement scored against the framework.
- Consolidate. OEM and platform contracts replaced in renewal order under one WUC agreement, placements corrected where the evidence disagrees with the incumbent pitch.
- Operate. 24/7 telemetry and guaranteed-response engineering across hyperconverged, on-prem, and cloud — one team, every venue, measured monthly.
- Advise. Quarterly placement reviews: growth against forecast, economics against invoice, compliance posture against audit — the partner-in-the-room phase your roadmap runs on.
