Case Study: Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg (ZOL) achieves improved patient experience and scalable, secure operations with Extreme Networks' Extreme Fabric

ZOL Builds a Better Patient Experience on Extreme Fabric

Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg (ZOL) is a major healthcare provider across four campuses in eastern Belgium whose four-person IT team manages networking, firewalls, voice and communications. Facing a legacy network that lacked scalability and strained limited staff — while needing better mobility, flexibility and stronger protections for patient records — ZOL turned to Extreme Networks and deployed Extreme Fabric to modernize its infrastructure.

Extreme Networks implemented Extreme Fabric to create secure, isolated segments, enable instant onboarding of client devices and scale services on demand. The fabric-based network let ZOL absorb a massive spike in video-enabled virtual boardrooms during COVID-19, supported a hospital merger and delivered noticeably greater operational efficiency and security for critical data, giving the small IT team the scalability and agility it needed.
