As healthcare costs continue to rise, many healthcare providers are utilizing technology to help improve patient care, increase operational efficiency, and reduce overall spending.

Because healthcare organizations rely so heavily on their networks to support the secure rollout of new services, they need the right foundation to meet both their short- and long-term objectives. In addition to delivering the highest level of reliability and availability to support today's always-on communications infrastructure, healthcare networks must meet the demands associated with uniting wired and wireless devices on a borderless network. Moreover, these networks must provide strong security to prevent unauthorized access to data.

As a result, one of the key challenges for healthcare organizations is scaling their network infrastructures without increasing management complexity and cost.

Brocade network solutions are designed to handle massive surges in data growth—in both wired and wireless networks from core data centers to remote branch offices. These highly reliable solutions are purpose-built to support today's requirements and provide a strong foundation for continued growth.

In addition, Brocade works with an industry-leading ecosystem of world-class partners and technology leaders to deliver complete, best-in-class healthcare solutions. As a result, healthcare organizations can cost-effectively add innovative network services and solutions such as convergence, consolidation, and unified communications.

Abstract:

The medical clinic associated with the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, took a multi-phase approach to upgrading its network. The clinic has invested more than $1.5 million in the network and today has a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) backbone that supports cur-rent doctor, staff, and patient use—as well as future network growth.

Abstract:

As the existing network aged out, network administrators recognized that it was time to upgrade the infrastructure to support current and more innovative technologies that would move the hos-pital forward on its mission of excellence. Sint Lucas Andreas Ziekenhuis sought a faster, high-performance networking partner that could deliver a reliable, scalable solution—with compre-hensive and user-friendly management tools. The hospital found that partner with Brocade.

Abstract:

Brocade is taking groundbreaking performance and reliability from the data center and extending it across the entire network all the way to the edge. Now, superior performance can be maximized across the entire campus network, giving you a more managed and efficient approach to growth.

Abstract:

While 802.11n wireless networks let enterprises create a seamless working environment by combining the mobility of wireless with the performance of wired networks, the best ways for deploying 802.11n—while minimizing acquisition and operational costs—may still be unclear.

Abstract:

The Brocade® Mobility product family combines Wireless LAN (WLAN) access point and controller-based security services with wireless intrusion prevention to offer a unified suite of security capabilities, which not only deliver a more robust threat defense but also lower the total cost of implementing and maintaining a secure wireless network.

Abstract:

This business-level white paper describes how Brocade Professional Services can help organizations optimize their existing networks while transitioning to a dynamic next-generation IP network infrastructure.

Abstract:

Today, most enterprises run two separate campus networks—one wired and one wireless—and Wi-Fi has been considered an adjunct to a company’s wired Ethernet network. However, technological advances and trends are encouraging IT administrators to consider wireless networks as a mainstream campus networking option.
