A Sinefa Case Study
Evolution Healthcare, a private hospital group in New South Wales with four hospitals, a head office and a data centre, was facing unexpectedly high data charges at its Hurstville Campus and couldn’t pinpoint the cause. Working with partner Tango Technology, they turned to Sinefa’s visibility and control solution — including a Sinefa software virtual probe and dashboard — to uncover who and what was consuming bandwidth across the network.
Using a free trial and Sinefa’s live traffic streaming, Tango Technology and Evolution Healthcare quickly identified heavy recreational traffic (iTunes, YouTube and a single user’s streaming service), plus staff using personal devices, and used the Sinefa dashboard to shape and limit that traffic. The result: estimated savings of $500–$1,000 per month on a single 100 Mbps link, a monthly ROI of 1,000% (Sinefa costs $65/month), improved staff productivity, and rollout of Sinefa probes across all sites with instant alerts and reporting to maintain performance.
