Case Study: PharmaPartners secures 7 million patient records and delivers scalable, QoS‑assured eHealthNet with Check Point Software

PharmaPartners Secures 7 Million Patient Records Using Check Point Technology

PharmaPartners is a Netherlands–based IT specialist that provides secure, outsourced infrastructure for the healthcare sector, including eHealthNet—a service that links regional care providers and today supports more than 2,460 primary healthcare workers and access to roughly 7 million patient records. The company needed to replace fragmented, leased-line networks with a single shared platform that met strict Dutch security requirements while delivering high performance, scalability, manageability and robust disaster recovery so clinicians could safely share patient information across cooperatives.

PharmaPartners standardized on Check Point solutions—VPN-1 Power, UTM-1 Edge, FloodGate-1, Provider-1 and VPN-1 Power VSX—delivering perimeter VPN security, policy-based QoS to prioritize clinical traffic, separation of business and personal use, centralized multi-policy management and high availability via virtualization and clustering. The deployment secured 7 million patient records, improved cooperation among healthcare professionals, guaranteed bandwidth and low latency for critical applications, enabled remote centralized administration 24/7 with minimal staff, and positioned eHealthNet for continued growth.
