Leading U.S. healthcare provider streamlines data center operations with cPacket
A nationally ranked U.S. healthcare provider and insurer with more than 100,000 employees saw patient data surge after multiple acquisitions. High-resolution imaging added more data, and the company was consolidating separate data centers onto hundreds of 400Gbps spine-leaf links. Its EPIC environment needed constant availability and low latency, and new surgery centers needed dual 100Gb circuits with zero downtime. Legacy monitoring couldn't keep up at these speeds or capture packets. Backhauling all traffic to tools also caused oversubscription and blind spots.
Outcomes
- 80% faster MTTR: Real-time packet capture and end-to-end visibility at speeds up to 400Gbps across hundreds of links.
- Stronger compliance posture: Packet slicing and inspection strip sensitive patient data before traffic reaches tools, giving the organization a more secure way to transfer and store patient data.
- Avoided new tool purchases: Smart filtering and dynamic packet slicing extended the life of existing monitoring tools and made them more efficient.
- 50% less data center space: Monitoring equipment takes up half the rack space, while the observability footprint grew substantially.
"With cPacket, you get a full suite of advanced solutions that can do it all and scale as new tools get added. We now have the power to manage our networks more efficiently and with less cost and this has been the biggest payoff for us." - Senior Systems Engineer
