One of the largest U.S. national healthcare providers set out to consolidate their data center resources and optimize their network to improve overall performance, resiliency, and security. As a result of a carefully thought out and well implemented design based on Extreme’s Fabric Connect and Distributed Virtual Routing, this customer was able to achieve results that far exceeded their expectations. The most striking outcome was the ability to randomly fail 75% of the network’s routers, firewalls, or core switches without a single outage to their network services.
This White Paper will cover:
- Traffic optimization for both east/west and north/south traffic flows
- Reduced latency of approximately 30 ms for users when accessing their applications
- Increased security through bi-directional dataflow with their firewalls so that advanced security functions could be deployed
- Enhanced infrastructure resiliency
