Health care organizations depend on technology 24 x 7. Down time, scheduled or not, for even a short period of time can adversely impact a hospital’s ability to effectively care for a patient during a life-and-death situation. In addition to providing always-on availability for critical services, the IT organization must adhere to strict mandates to protect the privacy of patient information that traverses networks, systems and applications at hospitals, research institutions, insurance providers, federal agencies and private practices. The NetScout Service Assurance Solution provides Healthcare IT organizations with comprehensive visibility in more places to monitor, analyze, and assure the end-to-end performance of applications and maintain compliance.
