Case Study: Jan Yperman Hospital achieves 60% faster, highly available patient-care network with Juniper Networks

Jan Yperman Hospital Future-Proofs Its Patient Care Systems with a High Availability, High-Performance Network

Jan Yperman Hospital is a 500‑bed regional hospital in Belgium with over 1,000 staff that faced exploding digital data demands—high‑resolution imaging from nine digital operating theatres, 3,000–4,000 radiography exams per day, frequent video conferencing, and the need to share records across departments and with GPs. Its aging data center and limited bandwidth caused unstable connections and downtime, threatening timely access to patient information critical for care.

The hospital deployed a Juniper‑based solution centered on the QFX3000‑G QFabric System, supported by EX and SRX switches, WLA/WLC wireless, MAG gateways, QoS, and outsourced operations to SecureLink. The upgrade delivered a >60% boost in network performance, sub‑5‑microsecond latency, secure, near‑instant access to applications and records, and scalable capacity (projected ~30 TB/year growth), allowing IT to focus on clinical support and future expansion.
