Every patient chart lives on storage.
We make sure it always answers.
Storage maintenance is where the stakes concentrate: the EHR database, the imaging archive, the backup that has to restore. What healthcare and financial organizations buy from WUC today goes beyond break‑fix — managed storage infrastructure, operated as an extension of your team, measured in clinical uptime and recovery you have actually rehearsed. Same multi‑vendor engineering depth. Sold by what it protects.
A contract replaces failed drives.
A partner guarantees the data answers.
Break-fix storage maintenance answers one question: how fast does hardware get swapped? Managed storage infrastructure answers the ones your leadership actually asks — is the data protected, compliant, recoverable, and placed where the business needs it next? We deliver both, under two principles:
Exceptional Service
Continuous monitoring, proactive maintenance, rapid issue resolution, and expert guidance that keep your storage 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 a storage outage is a patient-care event,
maintenance is not a commodity.
In healthcare, HIPAA compliance is a purchasing criterion and downtime is measured in delayed care. These are the flagship storage workloads our practice designs, hosts, and stands behind.
The storage tier under Epic and the EHR
EHR databases demand low latency, high IOPS, and continuous availability from the arrays beneath them. We operate that tier — Dell PowerMax and PowerStore, NetApp AFF — engineered for peak‑hour clinical load, with replication and recovery rehearsed rather than assumed.
Radiology — PACS archives on PowerScale and NetApp AFF
Imaging estates grow relentlessly, and a radiologist waiting on a prior study is a patient waiting on a diagnosis. Dell PowerScale carries the petabyte DICOM archive; NetApp AFF serves the PACS databases that make image search instant — and we maintain both sides of that partnership.
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.
The economics that started it all still hold.
Managed infrastructure is built on the same multi-vendor storage maintenance engine that made WUC an OEM alternative — and the savings fund the strategy. Model your own estate with the storage maintenance savings calculator, or start from the numbers below:
Multi-vendor consolidation
Dell EMC, NetApp, HPE, and IBM storage estates under one agreement, one SLA framework, one accountable engineering team — 30–50% below combined OEM spend.
See the case study → 02Life beyond EOSL
Stable arrays kept productive years past OEM end-of-service-life — refresh when the data growth says so, not when the OEM’s calendar does.
Check your EOSL dates → 03SLAs tiered to criticality
Two-hour response for the arrays under your EHR; next-business-day for the cold archive. You stop paying premium SLAs for data nobody is waiting on.
Design your tiers → 04Proactive, not reactive
Predictive telemetry that catches the degrading cache battery, the failing controller, and the RAID rebuild risk before they become a restore event.
Model your savings →Four stages, no surprises.
- Assess. Full-estate audit — every array, shelf, and contract — mapped to the data it serves and scored by business criticality.
- Consolidate. OEM contracts replaced in renewal order under one WUC agreement, SLAs re-tiered to criticality, savings visible in the first budget cycle.
- Operate. 24/7 telemetry, proactive maintenance, and guaranteed-response engineering — the extension-of-your-team phase, measured monthly.
- Advise. Quarterly strategic reviews: capacity growth, compliance posture, tiering and cloud placement — the partner-in-the-room phase your roadmap runs on.
