• AHCS is the leading provider of technology enabled dispensing solutions for workers compensation providers and patients with location in 36 states including Hawaii and Alaska
• AHCS has developed a powerful, next generation claims management technology platform, called ezDispense™ for point of care medication dispensing which is web based and can be accessed anywhere internet is available
• The platform enables the Company to remove many of the traditional barriers associated with physician dispensing, while virtually eliminating reimbursement risk and ensuring patients receive their medication
• The AHCS model is a guaranteed program so all our information must be accurate, secure and in real time without interruption or delay
• Our providers require live on-demand critical life saving data like allergy and drug interaction information as well as refill to soon and other safety information
• The AHCS platform reports to all state and government entities the dispensing information of all providers dispensing controlled medications
What we do at AHCS
Storage Needs• AHCS needed to acquire a storage solution which would allow us to give the highest SLA possible
to its providers without the need for “Maintenance Windows”
• We needed to know that our data integrity would be safe and secure
• We needed reliability with survivability under multiple failure scenarios without impact on software delivery
• We needed to scale up in horsepower, not just storage as we grew
• Wanted to get away from controller/shelf methodology
Why SolidFire• Ability to perform upgrades, expansions and patches during production hours without the need for
maintenance windows
• Distance ourselves from traditional RAID methodology with extensive rebuild times
• As nodes are added (during production hours even) we are able to add performance resources as well as storage (IOPS)
• No single point of failure, we can lose half our stack and still remain 100% up without impact on performance
• Ability to guarantee bandwidth at the application level
