Case Study: Alameda Health System improves reliability, speed, and savings with Advantel Networks

Advantel Networks and Alameda Health System Join Forces to Improve Hospital Operations and Patient Care

Alameda Health System (AHS), a large public healthcare organization serving more than 750 inpatient beds across nine facilities, needed to modernize its aging technology to better manage performance, security, availability, and patient care. With high volumes of inpatient, outpatient, and emergency-room activity, AHS needed a faster, more reliable, HIPAA-ready infrastructure, and turned to Advantel Networks to help upgrade core communications and storage systems.

Advantel Networks helped AHS modernize its environment with a broader technology refresh that included upgrading to VoIP, deploying Nimble Storage, and improving system management and diagnostics. The results included zero-downtime maintenance, storage performance gains, faster medical records access times dropping from five seconds to one second, and $2 million in staffing savings through improved remote work and reduced reliance on outside consultants.
