CHALLENGE
This leading medical equipment management company helps hospitals and health systems address their challenges from compliance requirements to quality issues related to medical devices and everything in between.
When it came to the network, they relied on internal teams to support everything they do. They needed help.
Engineering and Design
- Lacked standardization around configuration and management of their Meraki environment
- There was no Wi-Fi available to enable mobile employees and IOT devices.
- Inconsistent and poorly performing switching fabric
- No redundancy or disaster recovery plans
- Network not capable of supporting planned VoIP deployment using 8×8
Installation and Support
- Company was performing self-installs and handling their Meraki configuration and management in-house and could not scale for future growth plans

- We redesigned the company’s HA pair of VPN concentrators
- 4G failover was added for redundancy
Migration and Support
- We worked closely with the company to perform lab testing and made recommendations on template configuration during and after deployment
- Our project management and integration teams were heavily involved with weekly calls to ensure collaboration
Single Source Solution
