Case Study: Availity achieves massive data-center scalability and secure, faster healthcare transactions with Juniper Networks

Availity Makes The Business of Health Care Healthier with Massively Scalable Data Center

Availity is a health information network that connects providers, payers, and practice systems to streamline clinical and business transactions—processing nearly 2 billion transactions annually for more than 350,000 physicians, 2,700 hospitals, and 1,200 health plans. Facing exponential growth and a shift toward clinical interoperability, Availity needed three high-performance, massively scalable, highly secure data centers that were simple to operate and that met strict HIPAA/HITECH compliance requirements.

Availity deployed a Juniper solution—including QFabric Systems, EX, MX, and SRX platforms, vGW virtual gateways, and professional services with a resident engineer—to create a flat, high-performance fabric and secured, single-tier network. The deployment delivered a 95% capacity gain, cut key processing tasks from hours to minutes, ensured flawless operation of its data centers, improved availability and security, and accelerated connectivity for new payer–provider contracts and analytics use cases.
