Case Study: Leading U.S. Based Healthcare Provider achieves validated network deployments and reduced project failures and patient impact with NETSCOUT OptiView XG

U.S. Healthcare Quickly Identifies Source of Problems to Minimize Patient Impact

This leading U.S. healthcare provider—serving millions of patients through hundreds of hospitals and outpatient offices—faced critical network concerns during a data center switch refresh. Engineers began seeing port problems linked to SFP transceivers, and their existing monitoring tools couldn’t detect the port-level failures that were degrading server performance and risking patient-impacting service interruptions.

The IT team deployed NETSCOUT OptiView XG to run 10G traffic generation and service validation before, during, and after deployments, and to validate fiber and SFP components. The analyzer exposed port-level errors, enabled preproduction stress testing, sped root-cause identification, and helped minimize project failures, delays, and potential patient impact.
