As the pace of digital transformation increases, healthcare institutions are more dependent on network integrity than ever before. Clinicians have secure 24-hour access to systems, services, and information to provide the quality care and treatment expected of today’s healthcare systems and to ensure patients the best possible results. I need it.
As many of these resources are distributed across complex enterprise networks and the use of cloud-based services is increasing, wide area network (WAN) edge integrity is the continuity and reliability of access to information. It’s more important than ever.
Juniper’s new AI-powered SD-WAN technology enables for the first time cloud-based session smart routing (SSR) at the WAN edge of healthcare companies for wired access, wireless access, and full visibility across the SD-WAN domain. Provide. Management and troubleshooting.
AI-driven networking enhances patient care
“Health providers directly know how distance affects the performance and reliability of the networks that support telemedicine bookings. Packet loss can mean the difference between good and mediocre consultations. There is sex, “says Matt Roberts, a practice in health and life sciences. Lead at Juniper Networks.
“In a recent announcement, Juniper is delivering a full-stack SD-WAN solution with a whole new level of intelligence to enable providers to provide a more secure and connected care experience across the community, in the networking industry. Is making a leap forward. “
Healthcare companies are increasingly focusing on network resilience and capacity to realize, integrate, and maintain the benefits of digital health innovations that result from their support for Covid-19. In a recent Accenture Digital Health Vision survey, 81% of healthcare executives said organizations are accelerating their digital transformation, and 93% are innovating with the urgency caused by the pandemic. I said there is.
“Health providers need to modernize their IT infrastructure for digital transformation strategies to extend and support new applications and technologies that help improve patient outcomes and experiences,” Roberts said. increase. “We provide AI-driven healthcare networking solutions with end-to-end secure 24/7 operations, insights, management and automated troubleshooting, paving the way for further digitalization. “
Balance security and change
Data and network security is also an important consideration for hospitals as the need to increase access to cloud services and strengthen connectivity with partners and external networks increases. The underlying digital infrastructure must support clinical workflows and ensure the patient experience while ensuring the safety of patient information. This is a balancing practice for healthcare organizations that need to take a more hierarchical approach to network security.
To solve this challenge, Juniper has added a new Branch Security Pack with URL filtering and intrusion detection / prevention (IDS / IPS) to its SSR solution, eliminating the need and cost of additional security appliances.
Deeper network visibility helps prioritize critical services
Health providers are notorious for having a large number of networks connected in an ad hoc way. Juniper’s SSR solutions help integrate and manage network connections while improving the user and application experience. By providing richer and more detailed services and sessions than packet-based router technology, providers can gain deeper visibility and insight across the WAN. This is especially important for critical services such as telemedicine consultation and prioritizing digital image traffic.
