Hybrid Cloud Case Study
The Issue at Hand in this hybrid cloud case study
Montgomery Radiology found it necessary to consider IT expansion to implement compliance advancements and new software purchased for radiologist.
They researched their options and came to two choices:
• Add an on-prem system to meet the new stringent hardware requirements
• Host new application in the cloud
Montgomery Radiology also had pressure from their CEO and Task Force Team to move to the cloud because of anticipated cost reduction.

- More copies of their data plus cluster-to-cluster replication reduces risk
- $21,680 monthly savings; $1,300,800 savings over 5-years
- Financial savings for on-prem solution easily justifies the expense of in-house IT Staff over the next five years and boost their IT Help Desk capabilities and turn around time
- Fixed-site cloud infrastructure is always more expensive than on-prem
