Regional Healthcare Provider Deploys a High-IQ Network to Simplify and Scale Data Center Operations Supporting Life-Critical Applications. SUNNYVALE, CA -- March 19, 2014 -- Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, today announced that Catholic Health System, a non-profit healthcare system that provides medical services to Western New Yorkers across numerous care centers and hospitals, has deployed Juniper Networks data center solutions to support mission-critical healthcare applications. With approximately 1,000 acute care beds and 8,600 employees catering to acute care, primary care, long-term care, and lab and rehab services across 14 sites, Catholic Health required a reliable and secure, high-capacity network to support its electronic medical records (EMR) and medical imaging systems. Facing an aging legacy network and a flat budget, Catholic Health turned to Juniper for a cost-effective, easy-to-manage solution that could accommodate the organization's growing use of EMR without negatively impacting the performance and availability of other critical healthcare applications. After a rigorous competitive evaluation, Catholic Health chose Juniper Networks based on its ability to greatly simplify the configuration and management of the network, enabling Catholic Health to deliver technology-enabled patient care through high-IQ networks. News Highlights: Catholic Health implemented Juniper Networks® MetaFabric™, an open standards-based architecture for next-generation data centers, to deliver unparalleled levels of patient care in a simple, secure and flexible way.
