Case Study: University of Kansas Health System achieves reduced tool sprawl and $200K–$500K savings with Gigamon

University of Kansas Health System Sees Reduced Tool Sprawl, Massive Savings and Wow-Factor Support

The University of Kansas Health System, a large regional healthcare provider with roughly 60,000 endpoints and 18,000 users, was struggling with tool sprawl, aging infrastructure, SSL decryption gaps, difficult network troubleshooting, and the sudden need to secure about 1,500 remote workers during COVID — all while facing budget pressures.

They deployed Gigamon’s Deep Observability Pipeline (GigaVUE‑FM plus GigaSMART features including SSL/TLS decryption and inline bypass), which improved visibility, consolidated and optimized monitoring tools, and sped threat detection and response. Results included a 50–79% reduction in traffic to tools, estimated savings of $200,000–$500,000, full ROI within 12 months, fewer tools to manage, and strong ongoing support from the Gigamon team.
