Case Study: Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University achieves reliable, scalable hospital networking with Huawei S12700 Agile Switches

S12700 Agile Switches Heal Hospital Networks

The Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University needed a scalable, highly reliable network for a new building that could support growth, keep internal and external traffic logically isolated, and ensure core hospital systems like HIS, LIS, and PACS stayed available even if a single point of failure occurred. The hospital also needed strong wireless support for mobile medical workflows. Huawei addressed these requirements with its S12700 Series Agile Switches.

Huawei implemented a resilient core network using S12700 Series Agile Switches with CSS2 switch fabric clustering, built-in iPCA for precise service monitoring, integrated security capabilities, and native wireless access control for AP management. This gave the hospital unified wired and wireless management, improved fault detection, stronger protection against intrusions, and simpler deployment of wireless services. As a result, the network became more scalable, secure, and reliable, with a smoother path toward SDN-based operations and rapid service provisioning.
