Case Study: Large Hospital Network achieves reliable patient-impacting application performance with NETSCOUT nGeniusONE and VaaS

Hospital Assures Quality Performance Of Patient-Impacting Applications

A large regional hospital network — more than a dozen hospitals and around 100 medical facilities serving hundreds of thousands of patients annually — faced growing network demand from patient growth and mergers while building a new data center. IT needed real-time visibility and application assurance for mission‑critical systems (Epic EMR, imaging/DICOM, telemedicine, Citrix VDI, mobile communications and cloud/SaaS apps) to guarantee fast, secure, 24/7 delivery of patient‑impacting services.

The hospital deployed NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE service assurance platform with InfiniStreamNG appliances (9800/2700 series), nGenius packet flow switches (PFOS on 5000 series) and NETSCOUT Visibility as a Service. Using ASI “smart data,” dashboards and managed support, the solution fed performance and IoT security tools, cut MTTR, delivered quick time‑to‑value, protected patient‑facing applications and staff communications, and reduced operating and capital costs by consolidating visibility and support.
