Case Study: Cook Children’s Health Center cuts diagnosis time from days to hours with Ixia Anue NTO

Time to Diagnosis Performance Issues Cut From Days to Hours with Joint Riverbed and Ixia Anue Nto Solution

Cook Children’s Health Center, a pediatric health care organization with a large and growing network, was struggling with application slowdowns, limited visibility into performance trends, and troubleshooting that could take days. The team also had difficulty monitoring multiple 10G links and sharing SPAN traffic across tools, making it hard to quickly isolate the cause of issues in systems like electronic medical records and Outlook/Exchange.

Ixia implemented its Anue Net Tool Optimizer (NTO) to aggregate traffic from multiple SPAN ports, filter out duplicate packets, and feed clean data to the Riverbed AppResponse Xpert APM platform. This gave Cook Children’s Health Center full application and network visibility, enabled proactive monitoring, and cut troubleshooting time from days to hours, while also improving storage and analysis efficiency and helping the team identify problems faster.
