Case Study: MemorialCare Medical Centers achieves better network visibility and virtualization success with Xangati

Memorial Care Medical Center - Customer Case Study

MemorialCare Medical Centers, one of the largest not-for-profit health systems in the U.S., was trying to keep five hospitals running while lowering costs through virtualization. However, the network would periodically freeze, disrupting users and operations, and existing tools could not identify the cause, leading some to blame virtualization. Xangati’s visibility solution was brought in to help uncover the issue.

Xangati installed a non-intrusive appliance that delivered live, to-the-second visibility across MemorialCare’s physical and virtual network communications. This revealed that large, uncompressed medical image transfers by doctors were causing the slowdowns. As a result, MemorialCare eliminated the network disruptions, accelerated virtualization adoption, and gained visibility into more than 10,000 endpoints across LAN, WAN, and wireless connections.
