Case Study: Jena University Hospital ensures uninterrupted medical IT monitoring with PRTG from Paessler

Jena University Hospital monitors 12,000 sensors with Paessler AG

Jena University Hospital, a major healthcare provider in Germany, faced the critical challenge of ensuring uninterrupted availability for its extensive IT and medical device infrastructure. As a hospital classified as critical infrastructure under German law (KRITIS), it was legally required to have robust monitoring to prevent potentially life-threatening system failures, such as a screen going dark during surgery. To address this, they turned to the vendor Paessler AG and its PRTG monitoring solution.

The solution implemented by Paessler AG involved deploying PRTG to monitor 12,000 sensors across servers, networks, and medical imaging systems like MRI and CT scanners. This provided a centralized view of the entire infrastructure, enabling immediate response to alarms and ensuring the smooth transmission of patient data. The results included enhanced operational reliability, compliance with KRITIS regulations, and data-driven capacity planning for IT resources.
