Case Study: a major healthcare system achieves comprehensive IT discovery and dependency mapping with Virima

Large Healthcare System Deploys Virima to Facilitate IT Discovery and Dependency Mapping

The customer, a major healthcare system in the Upper Midwest, was formed through several mergers and faced significant IT challenges. The IT department lacked knowledge of the newly consolidated environment, struggling to support over 7,000 servers, 2,000 applications, and the underlying infrastructure. This lack of visibility made it difficult to respond to incidents, manage cybersecurity risks for medical devices, and meet strict auditing requirements. To address this, they turned to Virima Inc for its discovery and dependency mapping solution.

Virima implemented its agentless discovery and CMDB software, which quickly scanned the environment and automatically mapped dependencies for applications and the business services they support. The solution provided an accurate, single view of the entire IT estate. This capability had an immediate impact when an engineer used Virima to correctly identify all servers for a failed prescription system, avoiding a lengthy downtime. The healthcare system now relies on Virima’s automatically updated data for efficient operations, onboarding, and is expanding its use to manage medical devices and end-user devices.
