Clario Medical Finds a Solution
“Having a rich infrastructure that meets all the compliance guidelines is great,” said Scott Pilsbury, Vice President of IT at Clario Medical.
Introduction
Clario Medical is a rapidly growing medical services provider headquartered in Seattle, WA. They partner with hospitals, imaging centers and private practice radiology groups to improve radiologists’ efficiency through system integration and their industry leading zVision radiology solution. Seven of Clario’s zVision software customers are listed in Radiology Business Journal’s top 100 largest private radiology practices.
Challenges
“We were hosting several servers in TierPoint’s Seattle data center,” said Scott Pilsbury, Vice President of IT. “We were happy with the service, but with our growth and aging infrastructure, we knew we needed something different. We wanted a strategic IT partner who would help us mature as our business continued to accelerate”, said Scott Pilsbury, Vice President of IT at Clario Medical.
When TierPoint reached out to Clario to discuss their business, Clario was ready to talk. “We had several new customers ready to launch and limited options with our current infrastructure,” continued Pilsbury. “The call from TierPoint was perfectly timed and the solutions they offered were a match for our needs, both now and for the future.”
Solutions
TierPoint’s cloud engineering team worked closely with Clario’s IT leadership to identify key challenges and objectives and to map out a cost-effective plan. TierPoint was also able to offer a layer of managed security services to fill in much needed gaps.
The Clario solution centers on a private cloud implementation, including private dedicated storage and shared load balancing services that reside in the TierPoint Spokane data center.
Clario also needed a secure way to reach their new cloud solution. “Having a rich infrastructure that meets all the compliance guidelines is great,” said Pilsbury. “But if we can’t reach it remotely and/or securely, then it’s not valuable.”
Results
“We threw a lot at TierPoint with the expectation that they could do ‘most’ of it,” said Pilsbury. “But they surprised us! There were a few bumps, as expected, but the sales and engineering staff worked through them quickly and we now have a system and service in place that will benefit Clario and our customers. We didn’t expect to be at this point, this quickly. We are extremely pleased with this relationship.
“Not only were we able to on-board our new customers quickly, we now have this incredibly robust system that allows our business to grow without concern for capping out hardware capacity,” Pilsbury added.
Each TierPoint cloud implementation is designed to meet the unique needs of its customers. “Cookie-cutter clouds” can’t be found at TierPoint; instead flexibility and trustworthiness are two key qualities that shape the service.
